Howdy, When I try to compile tar 1.19 on QNX 6, it fails with the following error message:
source='getdate.c' object='getdate.o' libtool=no \ DEPDIR=.deps depmode=gcc /bin/sh ../build-aux/depcomp \ gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -g -O2 -c -o getdate.o getdate.c getdate.y:118: negative width in bit-field `verify_error_if_negative_size__' The line in question is verify (LONG_MIN <= TYPE_MINIMUM (time_t) && TYPE_MAXIMUM (time_t) <= LONG_MAX); , which is still present in the latest Gnulib sources. time_t is equivalent to an unsigned long, which causes both of the comparisons to fail. -- Matt
