egcs-1.1.2 and glibc-2.1: egcs build problem (__sigset_t)

[Maarten ter Huurne <mth at stack dot nl>]

Hello,

I think I found a bug in the building process of egcs 1.1.2. By the way, my
system descriptor is 'i586-pc-linux-gnulibc2'.

I was attempting to build egcs 1.1.2 using 'make bootstrap'.
On step 2, it failed with a parse error on a file in the 'libio' directory.

I think I have figured out the cause:
The 'gen-params' script used to create '_G_config.h' doesn't parse the
glibc-2.1 version of '<bits/sigset.h>' properly. The definition of
'sigset_t' spans several lines.
I worked around the problem by putting the definition of '__sigset_t' on a
single line. After this modification, egcs built without problems.

I hope this information is of any use to you.
Keep up the good work!

Bye,
		Maarten
