I've fixed the version.c and bootstrap problems, but I don't think we ever settled on the right way to deal with not having `program_name` defined at build time. If you are on a glibc system, I think the library provides the necessary symbol and you should be able to build a working libposix from the topic branch after a git pull. Otherwise you'll have to link in the progname module, or similar to resolve it... until we come up with a blessed method for dealing with it properly. Cheers, -- Gary V. Vaughan (g...@gnu.org)
