I'm honestly surprised to find that asprintf is fairly common now, although many implementations are buggy/missing specifiers/flags [1]. Solaris 10 and MinGW as you mention are missing it. AFAIK, the Solaris CI we use is version 11 which has it. Not sure if we can do Solaris 10 CI, and that platform has not been fun in my previous experience. FWIW, Inetutils does not yet build on AIX because the platform has a very poor arpa/telnet.h file which is missing macros. Probably the best solution is to add the arpa/*.h headers to Gnulib. This would be needed for Windows as well, since it and MinGW do not have them. Collin [1] https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/asprintf.html
