I installed this: dup2: remove test for existence of fcntl * m4/dup2.m4 (gl_FUNC_DUP2): Use "#ifdef FD_CLOEXEC", not "#if HAVE_FCNTL", in the configure-time test program. This removes the need for the AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE([fcntl]), and therefore speeds up "configure" a bit. Found while adding the dup2 module to Emacs. diff --git a/m4/dup2.m4 b/m4/dup2.m4 index 62e31a8..8d7f62c 100644 --- a/m4/dup2.m4 +++ b/m4/dup2.m4 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -#serial 12 +#serial 13 dnl Copyright (C) 2002, 2005, 2007, 2009-2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc. dnl This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation dnl gives unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it, @@ -17,7 +17,6 @@ AC_DEFUN([gl_FUNC_DUP2], ], [ AC_DEFINE([HAVE_DUP2], [1], [Define to 1 if you have the 'dup2' function.]) ]) - AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE([fcntl]) if test $HAVE_DUP2 = 1; then AC_CACHE_CHECK([whether dup2 works], [gl_cv_func_dup2_works], [AC_RUN_IFELSE([ @@ -25,13 +24,13 @@ AC_DEFUN([gl_FUNC_DUP2], #include <fcntl.h> #include <errno.h>]], [int result = 0; -#if HAVE_FCNTL +#ifdef FD_CLOEXEC if (fcntl (1, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) == -1) result |= 1; -#endif HAVE_FCNTL +#endif if (dup2 (1, 1) == 0) result |= 2; -#if HAVE_FCNTL +#ifdef FD_CLOEXEC if (fcntl (1, F_GETFD) != FD_CLOEXEC) result |= 4; #endif
