Q: Shouldn't configure automatically detect that -lm is needed? Q: Do you have a glue why dirfd causes problems on AIX 7.1? I just checked this on AIX 6.1 and there dirfd gets included in the Makefile... It's very interesting that M4 1.4.14 passes all gnulib tests an that the new upcoming version with the newer gnulib part fails. Currently AIX 7.1 is still in BETA, so it's quite possible that there are some bugs present. But despite this fact the old version worked better. On AIX 6.1 the following tests failed: # grep FAIL make_check.log FAIL: test-areadlink FAIL: test-areadlink-with-size FAIL: test-areadlinkat FAIL: test-poll FAIL: test-ptsname <- need to kill the test FAIL: test-readlink FAIL: test-strtod FAIL: test-symlinkat Thats the AIX 7.1BETA failure list: FAIL: test-areadlink FAIL: test-areadlink-with-size FAIL: test-areadlinkat FAIL: test-duplocale <- does not fail in 6.1 FAIL: test-iconv <- did not fail on my 6.1 system, because I use GNU iconv there FAIL: test-linkat <- does not fail in 6.1 FAIL: test-fchownat <- does not fail in 6.1 FAIL: test-poll FAIL: test-ptsname FAIL: test-readlink FAIL: test-strtod FAIL: test-symlinkat FAIL: test-utimens <- does not fail in 6.1 FAIL: test-utimensat <- does not fail in 6.1 > There are a number of issues. I'll handle them, one per mail. > > If you have a new test version I am happy to repeat the tests. > Bruno > > > bye Rainer
