Hi;

   I get the following error output when opening a terminator (enclosed
at bottom of the email).

   This is the jessies.org terminator, not the gnome terminator.

   Now I don't get the following when I open a cygwin prompt.

   So I thought it might be a terminator thing.

   I had just updated to 1.78 of Cygwin.

   So updated to the most current version of terminator.

   Same problem.

   So I posted to the terminator email list (terminator-us...@googlegroups.com).

   The terminator developer/maintainer was able to reproduce the
problem and thinks that the error is within cygwin and suggests this
patch (between the splat-asterisk lines).

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott

I wouldn't like to claim this is the right fix but it lets that
trivial example link:

$ gcc strerror.c

Thanks for the report.  I just fixed that in CVS.  The problem here
is that we have to take several targets into account, some of them
using a labe lprefix, some of them not.  I applied a patch which
does that:

  int      _EXFUN(strerror_r,(int, char *, size_t)) __asm__ (__ASMNAME 
("__xpg_strerror_r"));

The __ASMNAME macro is now defined in cdefs.h.  I tested to build
a testcase which calls the POSIX version of strerror_r and it now
works fine.  Well, there was a small bug in __xpg_strerror_r, too,
but that should be fixed in CVS as well.  I'll create a new developer
snapshot later today.


Thanks again,
Corinna


Hi Corinna;

The problem seems to be fixed now (after a recent update).

uname.exe -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 KWOLCOTT-T61 1.7.8(0.236/5/3) 2011-03-01 09:36 i686 Cygwin

Since Corinna replied on 3/3 and your Cygwin DLL version was built on 3/1,
I think it's fair to assume that you don't have the change she was talking
about.  But you can get an updated Cygwin DLL with the change by visiting
<http://cygwin.com/snapshots/>.
