J?rg,
Thanks a lot for letting me know this.. I'm not sure it's something we can send upstream, but maybe the open64 guys can make a suggestion? I'd much rather link/use maintained code instead of the roll-your-own approach for every missing function.. Almost as soon as snv_107 was tagged we started the port. It's been a TODO item for a while and I actually have license compatible implementations of asprintf()/vasprintf()wasprintf()/wvasprintf() functions.. not to mention they were in libast iirc.. Anyway.. like I said in the other email.. I have to get a new build log so we can hunt for errors and then I'll ask very specific things. Cheers, ./C
