AC_CHECK_LIB issues under maintainer mode (Was: Re: Tagging 2.4.29 / 2.5.0-{alpha/beta?} today)

2017-10-13 Thread Jim Jagielski
Let's recall what is really happening... In maintainer mode, the build system sets -Werror and -Wstrict-prototypes. This means that functions which lack strict prototypes will "fail". Now note that AC_CHECK_LIB does not worry about generating function calls w/ prototypes, so, for example, when

Is anyone seeing an issue of concern about stability on 2.4.x branch? Has anyone else looked at Jim's proposed fixes for xcode 9 building under maintainer mode? A couple-line quick fix to configure.in, that anyone on OS/X should be able to validate in minutes. The same fix is already present on
