X troubles of a different feather
Friends, Romans, and countrymen,
On Friday when I last had a chance to play with my SS10, I attempted to
build xv as there wasn't a package in non-free to install. I have found
that imake's inclusion of -traditional combined wiht the libc6-2.0.100
headers causes all manner of strange compilation errors (macro/#include
recursions mainly). I took a good look at the headers concerned and
couldn't see anything unusual about them other than that they use GCCisms
that may not be available with -traditional. Other than hacking the
sources for imake to not include -traditional (removing it from linux.cf
had no effect, although I may have been doing things wrong), this is
probably something that will need to be taken up with the glibc authors,
whom I somehow doubt do regression testing against various weird
combinations of command-line options, header-file-altering #defines, and
such.
Unfortunately, I'm not in much of a position right now to attempt to
examine it any further - work has taken me to New York and things aren't
going smoothly (meaning I may be stuck here till next week, instead of
flying out on Wednesday as was planned).
