* fixinc.sol2: New file.
* configure.in (i[[34567]]86-*-solaris2*): Use it on Solaris >= 2.5.
(powerpcle-*-solaris2*): Likewise.
(sparc-*-solaris2*): Likewise.
This patch defeats Paul Eggert's attempts to make the gcc solaris2 port
OS version independent.
Note how math.h is fixed. We create a stub header that does something like
this:
#define exception __math_exception
#include_next <math.h>
#undef exception
This will work regardless of the OS version, because we have not copied the
original math.h file.
The same trick should work for the curses.h file. We should be able to do
this:
#define bool _curses_boot_t
#include_next <curses.h>
#undef bool
to fix the curses.h problem.
If we do that, then we preserve the intent of Paul Eggert's changes, which
is that fixinclude should not copy any files out of /usr/include. I think
this is a useful property to preserve if at all possible.
