Yep - that's the power of gnulib! And this thread serves as a great counter-response to last week's complaints from the FreeBSD camp about why we waste time compiling snprintf as part of libm4, even when it is not linked into the final m4 executable on modern platforms. It's also nice to know that other gnu projects based on gnulib have the same benefit of a working snprintf. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
