Trying to build the daily snapshot on IRIX 6.5.30 I run into problems when building with external gettext:
cc -c99 -g -L/usr/nekoware/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/nekoware/lib -Wl,--as-needed -o test-u32-nfc-big test-u32-nfc-big.o test-u32-normalize -big.o ../gllib/libgnu.a -lm (null): WARNING 1 : Unknown option: -as-needed (ignored). ld32: ERROR 33 : Unresolved text symbol "libintl_gettext" -- 1st referenced by ../gllib/libgnu.a(xalloc-die.o). Use linker option -v to see when and which objects, archives and dsos are loaded. ld32: INFO 152: Output file removed because of error. gmake[4]: *** [test-u32-nfc-big] Error 2 A bit of digging suggests that test_u32_nfc_big, test_u32_nfd_big, test_u32_nfkc_big and test_u32_nfkd_big needs to LDADD LIBINTL. Other than that gnulib seems to be in good shape on IRIX 6.5: test-flock.c:90: assertion failed, errno = 0 /bin/sh[9]: 14438593 Abort(coredump) FAIL: test-flock Unconnected socket test... passed Connected sockets test... failed (expecting POLLHUP after shutdown) General socket test with fork... failed (expecting POLLHUP after shutdown) Pipe test... passed FAIL: test-poll ======================= 2 of 473 tests failed (35 tests were not run) ======================= The skips are all due to missing locales. -tgc
