Hello,

There's a bug out right now because bc -l (with gcc-4 I think)
segfaults.  The fix is simple and already is in the patches repo.  See
here:

http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/1846

One thing I want to be considered is using the sed's rather than the
patches.  There are 3 patches consisting of 4 one line fixes.  The
same thing can be accomplished with these 4 sed's:

sed -i '/PROTO.*readline/d' bc/scan.l
sed -i '/flex -I8/s/8//' configure
sed -i '/stdlib/a #include <string.h>' lib/number.c
sed -i 's/program.*save/static &/' bc/load.c

So, I'm wondering what people prefer.  3 patches (which could be
consolidated) or the 4 sed's.

Also, Randy has asked whether we should be removing the libedit
optional dependency since (I think) it overwrites readline's
libhistory and libreadline.  This has caused a couple very odd support
questions.  Libedit's most recent release was in 2001-07.  I
personally feel that warning that it will overwrite readline will be
sufficient.
