Re: [PATCH] Check for only regular files, not devices

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Hi Stas,

thanks for the patch.  I've fixed the issue Charles noted, and rewrote
the ChangeLog entry to match GCS requirements, and pushed like this.

(The "tiny change" is to note that your change does not need copyright
papers.)

Cheers
Ralf

commit 154ca8a7087116d45e7e66d218d5d84f02708ebb

    Check only regular files, not devices, for lalibs.
    
    * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (functions func_lalib_p)
    (func_lalib_unsafe_p): Only read regular files and not device
    files.  Avoids blocking libtool executing gdb, when a
    pseudo-terminal device /dev/pts/NN is given as one of the
    arguments to gdb, as in:
    libtool --mode=execute gdb -q -nw -i mi -tty /dev/pts/4 prog
