Bug#408850: mksh: FTBFS on experimental/alpha (Re: Log for failed build of mksh_28.9.20070118 (dist=experimental))
I have an idea…

Could please someone with access to an alpha try to build the version
of mksh currently in experimental, or even my “current playchild“
at http://users.unixforge.de/~tglaser/mksh_28.9.20070304.dsc, with
HAVE_CAN_STDG99=0 defined in the environment (of Build.sh, i.e. I'd
patch debian/rules appropriately) and show me the build log?
If so, we might at least have a workaround until that's fixed in
the system headers, because I've got a major update to mksh (i.e.
a new formal release) I'd like to get into unstable/testing, and
(thanks to playing around in experimental) only this bug is pre-
venting me from doing so.
@Pierre HABOUZIT: maybe your sample programme compiles fine as
long as you don't use -std=gnu99? Maybe the issue only appears
on alpha because it implies some kind of alignment changes?
Thanks!
