In fact, when I tried to build 1.13.25 a couple of weeks ago, I kept hitting a build error:
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/src/gnu/tar-1.13.25/lib' source='xstrtoimax.c' object='xstrtoimax.o' libtool=no \ depfile='.deps/xstrtoimax.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/xstrtoimax.TPo' \ depmode=gcc /bin/sh ../depcomp \ gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../intl -I/opt/gnu/include -O2 -c `test -f xstrtoimax.c || echo './'`xstrtoimax.c In file included from xstrtoimax.c:31: xstrtol.c:90: macro `strtoimax' used without args gmake[2]: *** [xstrtoimax.o] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/src/gnu/tar-1.13.25/lib' gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/src/gnu/tar-1.13.25' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 I already feels like a long time ago, but IIRC, I started to come to the conclusion that this was due to some kind of a known, HP-related problem with the 'configure' script. Never got any further with it, though... I s'pose this could be one explanation for the weird behavior of that DLE I described in my earlier note. -- Mark
