If I remove my local osx/bin from the PATH and try again I get
the error message "msgfmt: command not found" shown below.

gcl-2.6.8pre/binutils/bfd/config.log confirms:
Invocation command line was
$ ./configure --with-included-gettext
But apparently recursive makefile in bfd/po does not make
use of the included gettext. Maybe this is a binutils bug?

I don't know. This SourceForge server is the closest I have
ever been to a MAC and it's probably a few thousand miles
away from here... :-) But I have heard that many people would
like to try to avoid installing "foreign" package systems like
Fink.

I think you are right.
If I 'make clean' and write:
+++ new/gcl-2.6.8pre/h/powerpc-macosx.defs Sun Oct 15
...
+LIBS := `echo $(LIBS) | sed -e 's/-lncurses/ /'`
and just adding:
export PATH=/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/bin:$PATH
(to avoid gettext bug) then trying configure & make as above
works fine.

If I reverse this change and do 'make clean & configure & make'
I get the error "conflicting types for `my_sbrk'":

I only vaguely understand what this is doing but 'restFP' and
'saveFP' are not removed from this list than the compile complains
about "function symbols" not used in a function ... or something
like that. The other names make sense to me. For example:
MY_PLT(__srget),
MY_PLT(__swbuf),
...
which derive from the implementation of getc(f) and putc(ch,f).
But see later in the message - I apparently have a problem with
__srget.

Makes sense to me. You are the autoconf wizard. :-)

Yes, it looks pretty ugly but maybe it is needed just a little
while longer (or optionally) to verify that si::save-system and
compiler::link are really working properly?

Thank you. I look forward to a finally finalized 2.6.8. The
evoluton of 2.6.8pre is causing us a little consternaton in
the current Axiom source distribution... :-)

Hmmmm... well I do currently have a problem with the Axiom build.
After successfully building bootsys and depsys the build fails
building interpsys with the following message:
start address -T 0xb8f000 Finished loading

make[1]: *** [interp/stamp] Error 2
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
---------
Something is strange about thid symbol "___srget" with the 3
underscore characters, I think??? The name "__srget" with 2
underscore characters is properly defined in /usr/include/stdio.h
I don't understand what is going on here.
Also prior to compiling depsys, bootsys was already successfully
created however it did have one oddity. The original Axiom load
commands like ')load postpar' run during building depsys fails
with an error message like "'postpar.8' does not exist" (Yes, that's
the digit 8 after the dot.). If I change the command to include the
.o like this: ')load postpar.o' everything seems fine and depsys
is built.
bootsys itself is actually built form a copy of gcl called 'lisp'
that is created using compiler::link. The 'lisp' image includes
several Axiom specific external routines. I.e.
echo '(compiler::link nil
"/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/axiom.build-improvements/build/powerpc-ap
ple-darwin6.8/bin/lisp" ' \
' (format nil "(progn (let ((*load-path* (cons ~S
*load-path*))'\
' (si::*load-types* ~S))' \
' (compiler::emit-fn t))' \
' (when (fboundp (quote si::sgc-on))' \
' (si::sgc-on t))' \
' (setq compiler::*default-system-p* t))"' \
' si::*system-directory* (quote (list ".lsp")))' \
'
"/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/axiom.build-improvements/lsp/.././src/lib
/cfuns-c.o' \
'
/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/axiom.build-improvements/lsp/.././src/lib/
sockio-c.o' \
'
/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/axiom.build-improvements/lsp/.././src/lib/
libspad.a")' \
| /home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/bin/gcl
If I intervene and make Axiom use the original 'saved_gcl' to build
'bootsys' instead of using 'lisp', then the 'postpar.8' problem does
not occur and gcl finds the .o files anyway, as expected.
This makes me suspicious that something subtle may be wrong with
the output of 'compiler:link'. The size of the result images also
seem curious:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 18362444 Oct 17 19:08 saved_gcl
...
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 13072984 Oct 18 04:01 lisp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 19159640 Oct 18 04:01 bootsys
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 7719512 Oct 18 04:01 raw_lisp.tmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 billpage 100 0 Oct 18 04:01 raw_lisp_map
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 49588824 Oct 18 03:10 depsys
Remember that 'lisp' is create by 'compiler::link' from
saved_gcl plus some externals. Why is it smaller? Also the
"raw" files were left here don't look "normal" to me.
A test image of gcl created by
$ gcl
(si:save-system "test-image")
(quit)
is actually *larger* than the original saved_gcl.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 billpage 100 23699532 Oct 18 11:07 test-image
Are all these problems related?
Any thing you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.

Bill Page.
