a) Why you touch test case for "AC_MSG_CHECKING(for major, minor, and makedev)
AC_TRY_LINK([
#if defined(MAJOR_IN_MKDEV)
#include <sys/mkdev.h>
#elif defined(MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS)
#include <sys/sysmacros.h>
#else
#include <sys/types.h>
#endif
],[
makedev(major(0),minor(0));
],[
AC_DEFINE(HAVE_DEVICE_MACROS, 1,
[Define to 1 if you have the device macros.])
AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)
],[
AC_MSG_RESULT(no)
])"
?
Sorry I did't understand why this test case fail for you.
b) PEP 11 list unsupported platforms and OSF1 is not listed.
c) So code if from revision 27820 that fix "SF patch #584245, get python to
link on OSF1 (Dec Unix)" . The current patch as is will break OSF1 and other
OS-es (as example linux don't define this header). Just adding new include will
fail test case and will left as undefined HAVE_MAKEDEV => mknod won't be added
for those platforms.
