|
| I'm guessing this due to an incompatibility (bug?) in the glibc used
| on RedHat 7.3 (we have glibc-2.2.5-44).   The test is failing at line
| 55 of test-fseeko.c:
|
| 53         if (fseeko (stdin, (off_t) 0, SEEK_END))
| 54           return 1;
| 55         if (feof (stdin))
| 56           return 1;
| 57       }

Definitely a bug in the resulting fseeko - POSIX requires a successful
seek to clear the EOF marker.  The question now is whether this is the
native fseeko (in which case, m4/fseeko.m4 needs to be enhanced to detect
this flaw and work around it), or if config.log already filtered out
fseeko as broken, in which case, lib/fseeko.c needs to be patched so that
rpl_fseeko correctly clears the EOF marker.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
