If I didn't have time to review this patch, someone else ought to review it instead of me. This patch breaks compilation of module 'perror': perror.c:38:27: strerror-impl.h: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 I'm fixing it like this: 2011-06-04 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org> perror: Fix compilation error. * lib/perror.c: Don't include intprops.h, verify.h, strerror-impl.h.
