bootstrap.conf not distributed

2006-10-13 Thread Bruno Haible
Hi, When doing a "make dist" in the coreutils CVS, bootstrap is distributed, but bootstrap.conf is not. IMO that doesn't make sense, since the entire parametrization comes from bootstrap.conf. How about adding bootstrap.conf to EXTRA_DIST? Also there are a number of other files of which I cannot

FYI, bug in chgrp, chown, with -R -H and...

2006-10-13 Thread Jim Meyering
I discovered a problem in chown and chgrp. It's not worth worrying *too* much about, since few people use any of the options (-H, -L) that make the tools traverse symbolic links. I've added this to NEWS: chgrp and chown would malfunction when invoked with both -R and -H and with one or more o

I have AIX 5.3 with 5.3.0.50 updates and I'm compiling with gcc 4.0.2. One interesting note is I created the gcc when my system was at 5.3.0.10. The upgrade may have affected it. After ./configure, I type make and get the following error (trimmed down): In file included from ./stdint.h:
