I have problem compiling a simple C program with the -traditional switch.
It seems that the -traditional switch is not compatible with some of the
/usr/include .h files of the glibc-2.0.7 package. This was done on a
pentinum PC running Redhat Linux 5.2
I can compile with the -traditional switch on another linux PC running
Redhat 4.2 with libc-5.3.12.
I notice that the /usr/include/ .h files are significantly different
between the libc-5.3.12 version and the glibc-2.0.7 version.
The problem I am facing is porting a buge C program written with the
K&R style onto the Redhat 5.2 machine. What trick can I use with the
gcc or egcs complier ( compiler switches, etc. ) to successfully compile
the old code without modification ?
I know that this might not be the place to ask for help. But please
forward this message to someone in gcc.gnu.org so I can get help.
Thank you very much !!
