Thanks for the report. However, SunOS-5.7 (aka Solaris 7) is so old that gnulib no longer actively caters to it: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/gnulib.html#Target-Platforms The problem appears to be that the gnulib replacement headers are missing a workaround to pick up the proper system header that defines 'struct stat'; it may be fixable in gnulib. If you want to tackle patching gnulib to cater to this old of a system, and your patches are maintainable, then there is a possibility that a future m4 release using newer gnulib will work on a system that old. But for now, I'm afraid that you are trying to port to museumware and won't get very far. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
