Summary: autoconf 2.70 breaks coreutils-8.32 Project: Autoconf Submitted by: bdubbs Submitted on: Wed 09 Dec 2020 11:46:05 AM CST Category: None Priority: 5 - Normal Severity: 3 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: GNU/Linux _______________________________________________________ Details: Running 'autoreconf -fiv' on coreutils creates a configure script that fails: /configure: line 6425: syntax error near unexpected token `ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=$ac_cv_prog_cc_c89' ./configure: line 6425: ` ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=$ac_cv_prog_cc_c89' I could not find any reference to this in configure.ac, but the offending part of configure is: for ac_arg in '' ac_prog_cc_stdc=c89 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=$ac_cv_prog_cc_c89 do CC="$ac_save_CC $ac_arg" if ac_fn_c_try_compile "$LINENO" then : ac_cv_prog_cc_c89=$ac_arg fi rm -f core conftest.err conftest.$ac_objext conftest.beam test "x$ac_cv_prog_cc_c89" != "xno" && break done ------- I can fix this manually by changing to: ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=$ac_cv_prog_cc_c89 for ac_arg in '' ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc do ... but that is not a good solution. More info is available upon request. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110398> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
