That's silly! If the function is there and does not behave the specified way, the providing package (in this case libc) is simply broken and has to be fixed. It's that simple. *If* you really want some sanity test, why aren't they run in the 'make test' pass ? For the 'make test' it is clear that it has to run on the actual target, build and install has to run properly on any other system (w/ proper cross-toolchain). Making silly assumptions like that the building system is identical with the target completely breaks this. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: [email protected] mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
