coreutils build on OSF/1 4.0d

[Bruno Haible]

Hi,

Building a coreutils snapshot (2007-02-21) from http//"meyering.net/cu/
on OSF/1 4.0d with the native cc shows three problems:


1) "Make: bad lock name" errors when 'make' enters the src directory.
This was already reported in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-02/msg00062.html


2) "make check" failure of du/slink.
The 'out' file produced by this test has size 0 for all sylimks. The same
happens for /bin/du, so it's not a problem in the code of 'du'. Probably
this type of file system needs to be excluded, like 'xfs' is excluded.
The type of file system in this case is 'nfsv3'. The NFS server in this
case is dedicated hardware designed for use as a file server. This
workaround workd for me (causes the test to be skipped).

        * tests/du/slink: Skip the test if executing on an nfsv3 file system.

3) "make check" failure of readlink/can-e readlink/can-f readlink/can-m.
The reason is that the expression (inside backquotes)   "${p}"./subdir/
expands to                                              /subdir/
when p is empty. This is obviously a shell bug. Here is a workaround.

2007-02-23  Bruno Haible  <address@hidden>

        * tests/readlink/can-e: Put the closing double-quote at the end of a
        backquoted word, not in the middle. Works around a bug in sh on
        OSF/1 4.0d.
        * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
        * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
