That may be true for other packages but it's not true of coreutils. Coreutils is built fairly regularly on older systems, even systems like Solaris 2.6 (released 1997) that are no longer supported by their original suppliers. > Now, to answer the original question, I *think* most of those have a > C99 compiler available You don't need C99 to build unpatched coreutils. All you need is a C compiler that supports declarations-after-statements. GCC 2.95 doesn't qualify, but GCC 3.0 and later do. Also, if you apply the patch that's distributed wth coreutils, you shouldn't even need a declarations-after-statements compiler. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
