Hello. The DJGPP port of Perl 5.6.1 has a POSIX::WEXITSTATUS module that doesn't work. It always seems to return 0. I don't know why - I haven't investigated it yet. But this causes lib/Autom4te/General.pm to think that 'm4 --fatal-warnings' has succeeded sometimes, when it has failed.
The solution I adopted for the DJGPP port was to use the return value of system >> 8 instead. This seems to work fine. I see that POSIX::WEXITSTATUS is used, because it's portable. So this message is a heads-up about the problem. Thanks, regards, -- Richard Dawe [ http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/ ]
