coreutils-8.12.178-df9cd on AIX

On AIX 6.1 and 7.1 with xlc:

  CCLD     split
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_getspecific
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_setspecific
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_key_create
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_once
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 8.

The reason is that lib/strsignal.o depends on multithreading:

$ nm lib/strsignal.o | grep pthread_once
.pthread_once        U           -
pthread_once_t:t44=43 -           0

The fix is to add $(LIBTHREAD) to split_LDADD in src/Makefile.am.


Once this error is fixed:

  CC       stat.o
"stat.c", line 210.21: 1506-022 (S) "f_basetype" is not a member of "const 
struct statfs".
"stat.c", line 1169.15: 1506-280 (W) Function argument assignment between types 
"char*" and "const char*" is not allowed.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

The error in line 210:
$ grep STRUCT_STAT lib/config.h
/* #undef HAVE_STRUCT_STATFS_F_FSTYPENAME */
/* #undef HAVE_STRUCT_STATFS_F_NAMELEN */
#define HAVE_STRUCT_STATFS_F_TYPE 1

/* #undef STRUCT_STATFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER */
/* #undef STRUCT_STATVFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER */
/* #undef TYPEOF_STRUCT_STAT_ST_ATIM_IS_STRUCT_TIMESPEC */

It comes from the fact that 'struct statvfs', defined in <sys/statvfs.h>,
has an f_basetype field, but 'struct statfs', which is being used here and
which is defined in <sys/statfs.h>, does not have an f_basetype field.

The warning in line 1169 is due to the broken prototype of statfs() on AIX.
It is harmless, does not warrant a cast.


Once this error is fixed:
