Looks like some issue related the the use of GNU C keyword
__attribute__ in code that should probably be standard K&R C or even
ISO/IEC 9899:1999.
Not sure how to fix this but some clean up work needs to be done ..
comments like :
/* In GNU libc we want do not want to use the common name `error' directly.
Instead make it a weak alias. */
extern void __error (int status, int errnum, const char *message, ...)
__attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, 3, 4)));
extern void __error_at_line (int status, int errnum, const char *file_name,
unsigned int line_number, const char *message,
...)
__attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, 5, 6)));;
The double ;; at the end there and the double negative comment causes
me to think that perhaps this code has never been looked at by anyone?
