Tru64 UNIX 4.0D doesn't provide strtold (in the standard library at
least), but /usr/include.dtk/stdlib.h provides a declaration. Thus the
compile test in c-strtod.m4 fails. This causes a link failure for
coreutils-5.96 printf. The patch below seems to fix this (but I don't
know whether it should rather be searched for in some library).
| configure:12086: checking whether strtold conforms to C99
| configure:12118: cc -o conftest -g conftest.c >&5
| cc: Info: conftest.c, line 141: In this declaration, type long double has the
same representation as type double on this platform. (longdoublenyi)
| static long double (*p) (char const *, char **) = strtold;
| --------------------^
Cheers,
Ralf
* c-strtod.m4 (gl_C99_STRTOLD): Use a link test rather than a
compile test, for Tru64 4.0D.
