Log Message:
-----------
bisect-runner.pl should patch Errno 1.22 and earlier for gcc 5 and later
Without this fix, the generated Errno.pm will contain no entries, which
whilst syntactically valid causes much confusion later on when the bisect
run gives bogus results due to non-buggy module code unrelated to the test
case failing because %! is wrong.

Changed paths:
M Porting/bisect-runner.pl
Log Message:
-----------
bisect-runner.pl must patch Configure to avoid myread looping infinitely
Configure can get stuck and ask questions for which it needs a valid answer
before it can continue. As-is, if you redirect stdin from /dev/null (or close
the file descriptor) it will (effectively) loop infinitely repeating the same
question, because it doesn't like empty string as an answer. Worse - it keeps
repeating the question to stdout - eg 'Where is your C library?'
Rather than attempting to patch the shell script to detect errors on read
(because they only matter the *second* time round the loop, *and* wouldn't
handle the /dev/null case), it's easier to patch the relevant loop so that
it will abort after too many loop iterations.

Log Message:
-----------
bisect-runner.pl must stop Configure looping on "does not exit"
This only affects a small range of commits in development releases, but
without this change they can loop infinitely, rather than correctly skipping
(or failing a build test). An infinite loop (with terminal output) is
extremely unhelpful.

failures.

Changed paths:
M Porting/bisect-runner.pl
Log Message:
-----------
bisect-runner.pl needs to avoid using nm on darwin
Earlier versions of the hints defaulted to using nm, because on older versions
of OS X (as was) it worked.
It also needs to patch the hints file to force d_stdstdio to "undef".
Without this, a build with "d_faststdio" defined (or implicit) will fail badly
on current macOS, such as the perl-5.8.0 tag.

Changed paths:
M Porting/bisect-runner.pl
Log Message:
-----------
bisect-runner.pl needs to use the current approach for symbol probing
The older version assumed an explicit prototype for printf(), which doesn't
fly on arm64 macOS. It might not be robust on some other platforms too,
whereas the "current" (ie 2003 onward) approach still works everywhere.
Change edit_file() to only localise $/ to undef during the read, so that it's
restored to its default ("\n") when the callback is invoked. Without this,
`chomp` "doesn't work" (as expected) in the callback.

Changed paths:
M Porting/bisect-runner.pl
Log Message:
-----------
bisect-runner.pl must include more headers in Configure probes
Without these various probes rely on implicit function declarations, typically
for exit() or printf(). macOS now forbids implicit function declarations,
which causes these probes to become compile time errors and hence "fail".
This results in Configure assuming that many symbols are missing, and the
build fails where it should pass.

Changed paths:
M Porting/bisect-runner.pl
Log Message:
-----------
bisect-runner.pl needs to force a -flat_namespace before v5.10.0
The hints for macOS set -flat_namespace conditionally based on darwin
version, so that newer OSes would default to the native two level namespace.
However, the build of miniperl was relying on a flat namespace prior to a
refactoring during the 5.9.x series. Hence we need to force this linker flag
when building versions before this on current macOS versions.

Changed paths:
M Porting/bisect-runner.pl
Log Message:
-----------
bisect-runner.pl needs to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on macOS
El Capitan (OS X 10.11) (and later) strip DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH from the
environment of /bin/sh, hence setting the existing code that sets this in
%ENV assuming that it is visible to the invoked process no longer works. We
have to be explicit in every invocation, as part of the command that the
shell itself is processing.
This hurts us because in 5.8.0 and earlier the hints default macOS to build
a shared perl library.
