No, since the bug exists in older versions, and maybe even in newer or non-glibc ones. The way to detect it (when not cross-compiling) is to use an autoconf run-test. I.e., it would compile/link/run a small program to demonstrate the segfault on a losing system. If that program completes successfully, then we know it's safe to use the function. For examples, see uses of AC_RUN_IFELSE in coreutils/m4 and gnulib/m4. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
