Crumbs. My LIBIO_WSRCS/LIBIO_XTRASRCS change involving iofwide.c doesn't
work as cleanly on other systems. (Make might be smart enough, but libtool
apparently doesn't do that...?)
What's happening is that iofwide.c (an XTRA file) contains wide-char
functions that are referenced when WSRCS are built, causing a linker
failure. My patch duplicates iofwide.c in both lists, but when both
groups are active the duplication doesn't get flattened early enough,
leading to duplicate symbols in the linker on other systems.
I'm wanting to make the acinclude.m4 enable_libio logic a bit smarter.
But I need a little explanation. Right now it's
if <libio.h> exists
if glibc 2.2 is satisfactory
need_libio = no
need_xtra_libio = no
need_wlibio = no
else
need_libio = yes
need_xtra_libio = yes
need_wlibio = maybe
else
need_libio = yes
need_xtra_libio = no ??
need_wlibio = maybe
where "maybe" == "conditional on the user's configure flags" and defaults
to yes. Also note that right now we force the satisfactory test to false.
I'm usually in that last branch, where glibc/libio isn't installed at all, so
we need to build most of it. Shouldn't need_xtra_libio be yes in that case?
For that matter, what's the distinction between the files in 'libio' and
the ones in 'xtra_libio'? I'd be glad to rework it to bring it closer
to reality.
