We do not depend on any C99 specific behavior out of libc that I know of. We depend on the types (stdint.h) and syntax (sub-object naming, variadic macros, etc). A little surprised there are any linking failures with Open MPI even with an ancient glibc.
If the patch is simple please send it to us and we will take a look. If it doesn’t disrupt anything we will consider it. -Nathan > On Aug 27, 2016, at 7:41 AM, cbergst...@pathscale.com wrote: > > It's well documented that the version of glibc that goes with SLES10 is not > c99.
