Bug#711534: Disabling strtoul violates C89 and C99 and is unnecessary

[Matthew Vernon <mcv21@cam.ac.uk>]

Package: apache2-dev
Version: 2.4.4-2
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream

Hi,

httpd.h contains the following:

/** strtoul does not exist on sunos4. */
#ifdef strtoul
#undef strtoul
#endif
#define strtoul strtoul_is_not_a_portable_function_use_strtol_instead

i.e. apache intentionally breaks strtoul, a function defined in C89, 
C99, SUS, etc. And SunOS 4 has been unsupported by Sun since 2003.

The apache2.2 packages in wheezy are similarly affected.

Yours,

Matthew
