bash 3.1 pl1 and later on IRIX 5.3

[Georg Schwarz]

Dear developers,

bash 3.1 pl1 (and later patch levels) ends up like this on IRIX 5.3:


cc  -DPROGRAM='"bash"' -DCONF_HOSTTYPE='"mips"' - 
DCONF_OSTYPE='"irix5.3"' -DCONF_MACHTYPE='"mips-sgi-irix5.3"' - 
DCONF_VENDOR='"sgi"' -DLOCALEDIR='"/usr/local/pkg/share/locale"' - 
DPACKAGE='"bash"' -DSHELL -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I.  -I. -I./include -I./ 
lib  -I/usr/local/pkg/include -g -c y.tab.c
cfe: Warning 608: ./include/shmbutil.h: 51: Undefined the ANSI  
standard library defined macro MB_LEN_MAX
cfe: Warning 608: ./include/shmbutil.h: 52: Undefined the ANSI  
standard library defined macro MB_CUR_MAX
cfe: Error: /usr/include/malloc.h, line 121: Syntax Error
extern void            sh_xfree((void *), "/usr/include/malloc.h",  
121) ;
-----------            ---------^
cfe: Warning 625: /usr/include/malloc.h, line 121: Empty declaration
extern void            sh_xfree((void *), "/usr/include/malloc.h",  
121) ;
-----------             
-------------------------------------------------^
gmake: *** [y.tab.o] Error 1

Manually removing #include <malloc.h> from y.tab.c (created during  
compiling) works around the problem.

bash 3.1 without further patches compiles OK.

The problem introduced by patch bash31-001 does not occur when using  
GNU bison instead of IRIX 5.3's yacc.

If there's anything I can do to further help you track down the issue  
please do not hesitate to let me know.

Georg
