testsuite/testsuite_hooks.cc is compiled as part of the libstdc++ build itself,
rather than just for testing. I have a build problem there that therefore stops
the whole gcc build....
On line 233 ish there is:
int
try_mkfifo (const char* filename, mode_t mode)
{
#if defined (_NEWLIB_VERSION) || defined (__MINGW32_VERSION)
/* Newlib and MinGW32 do not have mkfifo. */
exit(0);
#else
return mkfifo(filename, mode);
#endif
}
However I am using an OS that does not have mkfifo, and is not newlib-based
(various system headers copied into the appropriate sys-include location). This
test should instead be done by autoconf, probably by just
AC_CHECK_FUNCS(mkfifo) somewhere, but I'm not sure exactly what's best in a
cross-compiled situation.
I can prepare a patch against gcc 3.4.3 if I have a little guidance, or it may
be easier just to fix by someone more knowledgable in this area.
