Support 64-bit default GCC on Solaris/x86

2011-10-31 Thread Rainer Orth
In version 4.7, GCC will gain a 64-bit default Solaris/x86 configuration, similar to the existing sparcv9-sun-solaris2 configurations. In order for that to work with GNU ld (Sun ld works out of the box), I had to make the following minor patch to libtool.m4. This patch has been tested with a

FYI: [PATCH 1/4] libtoolize: fix some long-standing sed substitution bugs

2011-10-31 Thread Gary V. Vaughan
Applied as obvious. * libtoolize.m4sh (func_fixup_Makefile): `\$' in a quoted script that is evaluated twice before execution becomes a `\$', which sed interprets as a literal $. The script will then delete any lines with a first non-whitespace character of `$'. Instead use `$' in

FYI: [PATCH 2/4] tests: add a keyword `expensive' to very long running tests

2011-10-31 Thread Gary V. Vaughan
Applied as obvious. This shaves about 15 minutes of every casual make distcheck for me, while still leaving the default to run even the crazy slow test cases. :) * tests/cmdline_wrap.at, tests/stresstest.at (AT_KEYWORDS): Add `expensive'. * NEWS: Updated. Signed-off-by: Gary V. Vaughan

FYI: [PATCH 3/4] maint: ensure bootstrap runs from dist tarball.

2011-10-31 Thread Gary V. Vaughan
This is a fix to the master-copy of bootstrap, pending acceptance into upstream gnulib. Applied as obvious. * bootstrap (func_gnulib_tool_copy_file): When gnulib-tool is not available, check that there is a copy of the file from a previous run available before bailing out with a diagnostic.

[PATCH 2/3] build: substitute paths into defs.m4sh instead of recalculating.

2011-10-31 Thread Gary V. Vaughan
More DRY inspired cleanup. 72 hours... etc etc. * Makefile.am (configure_edit): Add substitutions for aux_dir, macro_dir and srcdir. * tests/defs.m4sh: Don't recalculate srcdir. (aux_dir, macro_dir, srcdir): Convert to absolute paths. Signed-off-by: Gary V. Vaughan g...@gnu.org --- Makefile.am
