Hi!
While porting glib to interix, i stumbled over a problem i didn't hit for a
while (and in fact forgot that it existed on interix): long long double is
broken. this bites me in the gnulib vasnprintf implementation, which calls
snprintf from libc which immediately crashes ... :(
i fixed this for glib with the attached patch (longlongddouble.m4 from gettext?
but you wrote it bruno, so i trust you know where this has to go... ;)). Should
i do more on this? Are there other locations that could use some patching then?
Thanks,
Markus
