Hi Allan,
Gnulib has solutions for patches 3, 4, and 5 (wcwidth/wcswidth,
asprintf/vasprintf, and mkdtemp) - basically everything QNX is
missing. A solution to embed gnulib would be very practical. I tried
a simple build by following the gnulib instructions, but had some
trouble getting it to build PIC for including mkdtemp in libalpm;
unfortunately I got called away to another project before I could
investigate further. If you have any specific tips for how best to
perform the integration, I'd be very interested.
Thanks,
-Will

From what I understand, if gnulib does work then we should add it as a
git submodule and adjust our configure to use functions from there when
necessary.
We can look into that further if you gnulib does lots of what you need.
Thanks,
Allan

Consider them withdrawn, then, and I'll update my QNX build environment
accordingly.

I don't intend to accept reimplementations of POSIX functions into
pacman. I'm not even sure what system we supported that did not have
strndup... Cygwin maybe?
Answering my own question - OSX.
Check if gnulib provides all the needed functions. If so, that might be
the root to take.
