How many programs will be ported to OS/2? How active is the EMX-OS/2
community still?

I don't see a better alternative. The problem is that the replacement
is not available at the moment the autoconf test is run.
We cannot change that easily.

Sure. You don't need to ask me: I'm not mentioned as maintainer of this

Done.
The M4 macro doesn't seem to belong to one canonical module, so I wa
Some older preprocessors substitue macro parameter names that occur in
character constants or string literals. This breaks base64.c since it
uses x as a parameter name in a macro that has a 'x' character constant
in its expansion. Here's a fix:

It would be, but I've found at least one otherwise-c89 compiler that
keeps the old preprocessor behavior in its default mode. Since it's so
easy to avoid the problem, it seems worthwile

Which compiler is this, on which system? Please don't hide your knowledge.

Sorry, it's IBM C V6 for AIX.

I think they ship all kinds of compiler drivers, for several possible
standards, so you can choose the most appropriate one. So the escape
can be to use a different compiler driver.

That change is obviously safe, but why is it needed? Gnulib assumes
C89, and the preprocessors that you mention don't conform to C89.

Thanks for reporting that. Looks to me like someone just got
frustrated by 'const' without really understanding it, and put in a
'const' everywhere they could think of. (Sounds like some of my
students. :-)
I installed the following somewhat more-aggressive patch, which
removes eight uses of 'c
