| FYI, even indented, `#error' is not portable.
| SunOS 4.1.4 cc rejects it.

| Hmm, that doesn't match my recollection. I just checked, and
| SunOS 4.1.4 cc compiles and runs the following program just fine:
|
| #if 0
| #error "foo"
| #endif
| main() { return 0; }
Hmm...
I didn't test it, but rather based it on a fileutils ChangeLog entry
from you. Maybe you were using a different version of cc back when
you wrote it?

I haven't had a chance to run it, but here are a couple of proposed
patches found by inspecting the diffs.

* NEWS: Describe recent changes to shred, and to m4/lfs.m4.
(I forgot this in my earlier patches.)
* src/shred.c (word32): Don't use `#error'; it runs afoul of
SunOS 4.1.4 cc.

Changes in release 4.1:
[4.0g]
+* New large-file support for AIX and HP-UX, and for cross-compiles.
+* shred's default options are now suitable for devices, not files, since
+ shred is more reliable on devices. shred now does not remove by default;
+ the old -p or --preserve option was inverted and renamed to -u or --remove.
+* shred -u now attempts to truncate devices before removing them.
+* shred -v no longer outputs carriage-returns; shred -vv has no extra effect;
+ shred -v now outputs to stderr.
+* shred now tries to find the size of a non-regular file by seeking to its end.
* dd now opens the output file for *read* access only if `seek=' is used.
[4.0f]
* `ls --color' no longer segfaults
