Your mail addresses two problems: The problem is that POSIX.1-2008 is in conflict with general rules in POSIX. POSIX as well as glibc illegally uses these names: POSIX grants that it will never break published older code. The POSIX standard for this reason was not allowed to use these names. The Standard Commitee has even been informed about the problem to no avail. Note that the names in question are in widely spread public use since 1982 with the interfaces used by libschily. So glibc is introducing a non-compliance because the functions using the same names in glibc implement different interfaces. Your problem is a result of using _extremely_ outdated and even illegal (*) sources from a questionable fork. *) illegal because in 2006, the initators of the fork introduced modifications that are in conflict with the Copyright law. The code you send cannot be legally distributed. I recommend you to just upgrade to recent original code. Original code is legally distributable and it does implement a workaround for the problem since the non-POSIX compliant ;-) POSIX.1-2008 has been approved in Summer 2008. Here is the recent original code: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ Please upgrade all related code at RedHat's site as soon as possible and stop publishing the code you are currently distributing.
