Hi, building coreutils-8.0 fails on Solaris 10: Undefined first referenced symbol in file eaccess ../lib/libcoreutils.a(euidaccess.o)
The symbol is needed for these utils (aren't this almost all?): uname, hostid, chroot, nice, who, users. pinky, uptime, stty, df, chcon, chgrp, chown. chmod, dd, dircolors, du, link, ln, dir, vdir, ls, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod, mktemp, nohup, readlink, rmdir, shred, stat, sync, touch, unlink, cat, cksum, comm, csplit, cut, expand, fmt, fold, head, join, groups, md5sum, nl, od, paste, pr, ptx, sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum, shuf, sort, split, sum, tac, tsort, tr, tail, unexpand, uniq, basename, date, dirname, wc, echo, env, factor, false, id, kill, expr, logname, printf, printenv, pwd, runcon, seq, sleep, tee, timeout, true, truncate, tty, yes, base84, setuidgid, whoami, getlimits, su. eaccess is also used by some gnulib-test programs ... The configure log of that part was: configure:19154: checking for library containing eaccess configure:19185: cc -o conftest -g -D_REENTRANT conftest.c >&5 "conftest.c", line 274: warning: statement not reached Undefined first referenced symbol in file eaccess conftest.o ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.
