Hello,
I compile coreutils-8.21 under Cygwin (Windows XP). I'm using
gcc-4.8.0 with no problem, except that under _any_ snapshot posterior
to
plain 1.7.18, i obtain the following (with plain 1.7.18, or under
gcc-4.5.3 it works perfectly):
---------------
...
depbase=`echo src/chroot.o | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.o$||'`;\
gcc -std=gnu99 -I. -I./lib -Ilib -I./lib -Isrc -I./src -g -O2 -MT
src/chroot.o -MD -MP -MF $depbase.Tpo -c -o src/chroot.o src/chroot.c
&&\
mv -f $depbase.Tpo $depbase.Po

---------------
I have narrowed the problem down to /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h, where
(line 271) you have _Static_assert defined:
#define _Static_assert(x, y) __Static_assert(x, __COUNTER__)
This definition occurs even under GCC 4.6.0 (and later) where
_Static_assert() indeed works. As a consequence, it no longer works as
expected in coreutils-8.21/lib/verify.h (lines 24 and 181).
With line 271 of /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h commented out, everything is
fine.
I suppose that /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h should be adjusted (if
compilation under GCC >= 4.6 is desired). For coreutils also,
_Static_assert() should be _tested_ (as part of configure) instead of
to rely on some GCC version.

Denis Excoffier.
