Source: gdc-4.8
Version: 4.8.0-2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

The hurd-i386 build of gdc-4.8 failed:

  ../../src/gcc/d/dfrontend/doc.c: In function 'int icmp(const char*, void*, 
size_t)':
  ../../src/gcc/d/dfrontend/doc.c:1706:44: error: 'memicmp' was not declared in 
this scope
       return memicmp(stringz, (char *)s, slen);
                                              ^
  ../../src/gcc/d/dfrontend/doc.c: In function 'int isDitto(unsigned char*)':
  ../../src/gcc/d/dfrontend/doc.c:1719:42: error: 'memicmp' was not declared in 
this scope
           if (memicmp((char *)p, "ditto", 5) == 0 && *skipwhitespace(p + 5) == 
0)
                                            ^
  ../../src/gcc/d/dfrontend/doc.c: In function 'size_t skippastURL(OutBuffer*, 
size_t)':
  ../../src/gcc/d/dfrontend/doc.c:1817:54: error: 'memicmp' was not declared in 
this scope
       if (length > 7 && memicmp((char *)p, "http://";, 7) == 0)
                                                        ^
  make[5]: *** [d/doc.dmd.o] Error 1

The problem appears to be that doc.c's inclusion of gnuc.h (which
declares memicmp) is conditional, occurring on Linux but not the Hurd
(or kFreeBSD, for that matter!)

Could you please take a look, and check for other affected files?

Thanks!

Version: 4.8.0-2+rm

src:gdc-4.8 was last released with Debian 8 (jessie)
in April 2015 and has been removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
It has been superseded by newer versions.
After regular security support for jessie ended in June 2018 and LTS
support ended in June 2020, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
