OS/2 kLIBC has a feature to rewrite some path components. For example, '/@unixroot' is replaced with a value of $UNIXROOT if it is.
So prepending a drive letter to the path starting with '/' makes the path starting with '/@unixroot' to 'x:/@unixroot' which is unexpected. This will breaks the behavior of some programs depending on /@unixroot prefix. * lib/relocatable.c (relocate): Do not touch pathname if it is started with '/@unixroot'. --- lib/relocatable.c | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) diff --git a/lib/relocatable.c b/lib/relocatable.c index 60cb54a..401f3e0 100644 --- a/lib/relocatable.c +++ b/lib/relocatable.c @@ -539,6 +539,18 @@ relocate (const char *pathname) } #ifdef __EMX__ +# ifdef __KLIBC__ +# undef strncmp + + if (pathname && strncmp (pathname, "/@unixroot", 10) == 0 + && (pathname[10] == '\0' || pathname[10] == '/' || pathname[10] == '\\')) + { + /* kLIBC itself processes /@unixroot prefix */ + + return pathname; + } + else +# endif if (pathname && ISSLASH (pathname[0])) { const char *unixroot = getenv ("UNIXROOT"); -- 2.9.2
