Would be great to get wordexp into gnulib. OS X 10.4 finally has it, but it's incompletely implemented (the flags are ignored), so it's easy to *think* you're getting something ported when in fact it may not work correctly. OS X 10.5 claims to have the flags implemented, but there is an apparent bug (runtime crash due to a pointer not getting zeroed). Without reliable, complete POSIX implementation, it's hard to port POSIX-compliant software to currently-used Mac systems.
I took a look at the whole glibc, but extracting just wordexp and disentangling all the other pieces or getting anywhere trying to configure the suite on a platform that it doesn't support ompiling the thing is beyond me as my first poking in the sources:( dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks
