Ah, it's already fixed there; from lib/stdio.in.h, there is this unconditional include: /* Get off_t and ssize_t. Needed on many systems, including glibc 2.8 and eglibc 2.11.2. */ #include <sys/types.h> > > Notice that that test is unusual in that it uses $CC without the usual > -I options and on code that does not include <config.h>. You've convinced me, this is a patch specific to and appropriate for just coreutils. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
