Details:
A number of tools do not build on OSS. Some of the changes in bug #16325
help, but there are many more problems...
= 'configure' fails because it is unable to determine how to read the mount
table. I am not sure that there *is* a mount table on OSS.
= The targets 'shred' and 'sync' fail, presumably because there is no
sync().
= cp and ln fail w.r.t. symlink functions and function pointers. cp either
needs 'if (0) lstat (NULL, NULL)' before the call to lstat, or something
similar to what the patch does for ln. ln needs the fixes from #16325, plus:
- int err = ((dereference_dest_dir_symlinks ? stat : lstat)(file, &st) ==
0
+ int err = ((dereference_dest_dir_symlinks ? stat (file, &st)
+ : lstat (file, &st)) == 0
= signal handling in ls is broken because SA_NOCLDSTOP is defined but
SA_RESTART is not. I fixed this by making all tests for SA_NOCLDSTOP test for
both.
= stat does not build; AFAICT because there is no statfs() nor statvfs().
= ls, cat, stty need '#ifdef __TANDEM\\#define _TANDEM_SOURCE\\#endif' added;
otherwise net/*.h headers break.
= src/setuidgid.c needs the call to setgroups() removed.
There are also OSS sources for *fileutils* on ITUG:

These may help with some of the other issues.
