Now that Emacs is using a bit of gnulib, its src/config.in contains three #undefs that look like this:
/* Define to 1 when the gnulib module mktime should be tested. */ #undef GNULIB_TEST_MKTIME These symbols are unused by Emacs: it doesn't have gnulib tests and is not likely to have them soon (we're trying for a light footprint here). Maintainers look at Emacs's config.in file by hand more than they do for other apps, and it'd be a bit nicer if these useless symbols weren't there to confuse things. So I'd like to remove these useless symbols from src/config.in. One way to do that, I suppose, would be to put the following into configure.in: AC_DEFUN([gl_MODULE_INDICATOR_FOR_TESTS], []) This zaps the macro that generates the unwanted GNULIB_TEST_ indicators. This seems quite a bit of a hack, though. Are there better alternatives? For example: * Define a new macro in gnulib that does the above AC_DEFUN, then invoke that macro in configure.in. * Add an optional parameter to gl_EARLY that causes it to do the above AC_DEFUN. * Modify gnulib-tool to generate the above AC_DEFUN if the user is not importing any test modules. Any better ideas? Or should I just quit while I'm ahead, and put that one-liner into Emacs's configure.in with a comment explaining the hack?
