Hi Mike,
I'd like to report a regression of 1.8.8-pre1 (compared to 1.8.7) on
Linux i386 with GCC 4.6.2. I get the following test failure (excerpt):
"""

*** TEST FAILED ***
"""
I tracked down the test failure is happend due to adding "-lbsd-compat"
in r20898 and can be fixed by applying the patch attached (which reverts
one line from r20898).
I need to note that I'm using a special build setup:
The build machine is CentOS 4.6 and I have bootstrapped GCC 4.6.2
myself. The regression does not occur when using a bootstrapped GCC
4.2.4 instead of GCC 4.6.2. Unfortunately I have no distribution handy
that ships with GCC 4.6 as the system compiler (like openSUSE 12.1
will). It is entirely possible that the issue I am reporting is specific
to the combo RHEL4/GCC4.6.
Best regards,
Bernd
