[adding bug-gnulib, dropping bug-m4] According to Santiago Vila on 6/12/2006 12:07 PM: >> I suspect it will be, since I really haven't touched regex.c that much >> since 1.4.4.

OK, remind me again what 'uname -a', 'gcc --version', and 'config.guess' report. Also, what does 'sed -ne 90,110p /usr/include/sys/types.h' show? Really nice would be narrowing in on what the preprocessor saw: $ cd lib $ gcc -E -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. xalloc-die.c and figure where in the output that line from stdlib was showing up. > > This is on a debian machine with architecture "ia64". Unfortunately, > I am not root, so I can't change anything in the build environment > (in fact I've had to do the cvs and bootstrap parts in another machine). > Meanwhile, the original question was whether the gnulib version of regex.c solved the 64-bit bugs present in the years-old version that m4 1.4.4 used. Now that you have gnulib checked out, try: $ cd gnulib $ CFLAGS='-Wall -Werror' gnulib-tool --test regex and see if that compiles cleanly. If so, I can go ahead and commit my patch to use gnulib for m4 1.4.5. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
