Re: [Bug-indent] Problem building indent-2.2.7 on Sun Solaris 2.6

[david ingamells]

David,
Thanks for the reports.
Bison is not used by indent, so it must be an autoconf quirk, and is probably 
harmless.

The stpcpy problem is a known problem and will be resolved with version 2.2.8 
(coming out in the next few weeks.)

When did SunOS 4 come out? It must have been more than a decade ago! My 
experiences of SunOS were that it was a nightmare for porting to because of 
that sort of problem. Just like Sun's refusal to accept the ISO/ANSI C (1989) 
standard - they continued delivering a k+r (only) compiler for years. There 
are likely other problems on that machine with locale.h, since locale-like 
stuff has evolved lots in the last decade.

Regards,
David.
