uname -a gives:
AIX enterprise2 2 4 002034865900
I believe this means version 4 release 2 of AIX.
I'm trying to run "make" from a process which has the effective user id set,
but once in "make" this is lost.
To demonstrate this I have a script, "runmake.sh" that contains:
#!/bin/sh
id
make
and a Makefile that contains:
all:
@echo In Makefile
@id
and a binary executable, "runmake", which simply calls execv for "runmake.sh".
"runmake" has setuid set.
When "runmake" is executed I get the following output:
$ runmake
Running runmake.sh
uid=233(mr) gid=261(tardis) euid=234(mint) groups=1(staff)
In Makefile
uid=233(mr) gid=261(tardis) groups=1(staff)
$
Note the euid is lost once in the Makefile.
I had an identical problem on Solaris a year back with version 3.78.1and it was
solved. I don't know if this is a similar problem on AIX but here is the
solution given followed by my current config.h.
I found the problem.
If you have autoconf installed, you can edit configure.in and reverse
the lines:
AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG
AC_CHECK_LIB(kstat, kstat_open)
so they read:
AC_CHECK_LIB(kstat, kstat_open)
AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG
Then re-run autoconf ("autoconf"), then remove the config.cache file and
re-run configure.
That should do it.
Or, you can use the workaround I cited in my previous message, and
hand-edit config.h.
The next version of GNU make will contain this fix.
