Re: coreutils-8.27 released [stable]

[Michael Felt]

Hi, Probably I never packaged 8.26, so maybe this has been around since then.

I cannot build 8.27, I am getting errors.

a) "-include config.h" is being passed to xlc_r and that does not work.
b) there seems to be an issue with the correct order of loading
include files - AIX is perhaps not the same order as GNU.

        source='src/md5sum.c' object='src/src_b2sum-md5sum.o'

p.s. I need to change my email address for coreutils - it may take a
bit before I see a reply (working on it!).

p.p.s. - why have your own "unistd.h", I consider that a "system" file, e.g.,

root@x064:[/data/prj/gnu/coreutils-8.27]lslpp -w | grep unistd.h
  /usr/vacpp/include/unistd.h                 vacpp.cmp.include     File
  /usr/include/unistd.h                       bos.adt.include       File
