------- Comment #6 from ron3763 at msn dot com 2007-02-03 19:33 ------- Well I guess is the intended purpose is to patch a much needed system file, even if glibc, hasn't been patched (aka updated), will in my case, I applied the patch set to jk or jh at glibc group.
I can upload the patch here if you like. If you need sysmacros.h pre-patch, post-install (glibc) and munged file you may email me direct. So my take is, you see fixed sysmacros.h file, bail-out?? is that possible? Or do you need to create a test case to bail via 'else' clause. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30678
