new modules dprintf, dprintf-posix

dprintf is similar to vdprintf. Implemented like this: 2009-01-17 Bruno Haible New modules 'dprintf', 'dprintf-posix'. * lib/stdio.in.h (dprintf): New declaration. * lib/dprintf.c: New file. * m4/dprintf.m4: New file. * m4/dprintf-posix.m4: New file.

new modules vdprintf, vdprintf-posix

Among the new functions in POSIX:2008 is vdprintf(), which does formatted output to a file descriptor. These two modules implement it. 2009-01-17 Bruno Haible New modules 'vdprintf', 'vdprintf-posix'. * lib/stdio.in.h (vdprintf): New declaration. * lib/vdprintf.c: New

relocatable-prog: add support for stripping executables

relocatable-prog may install one or two executables per program being installed, depending on the system. Therefore stripping of these executables is best done inside install-reloc. This implements it. Attention! This is an incompatible change. Users of this module must add a line RELOCATABLE_

relocatable: remove *.dSYM

The native C compiler on MacOS X 10.5 leaves a *.dSYM directory for every executable that it creates. Such a directory in unwelcome in $(bindir). This removes it. 2009-01-17 Bruno Haible * build-aux/install-reloc: Remove debugging information left over by C compiler on MacOS X

relocatable: update for MacOS X 10.4

The function _NSGetExecutablePath was declared as int _NSGetExecutablePath (char *buf, unsigned long *bufsize); in MacOS X 10.3, but is declared as int _NSGetExecutablePath (char *buf, uint32_t *bufsize); in MacOS X 10.4 and newer. This leads to a warning in progreloc.c, indicating a bug when c
