This isn't really a bug, but I didn't see a discussion group...

Anyone have bash version 1.12 running under Solaris 2.x?  Just letting the
make figure things out makes it want to build it as if it were running
unders SunOS4.  Obviously that fails miserably.  Anyway, before I put much
effort into this I'd like to know if anyone has already made the effort.

I just took a quick pass at building 1.12 under SunOS 5.0 (ie: USG V.4).
Since I don't have a lot of time to mess with this I operated in quick
port/hack mode.

Because I'm not sure what cc or cpp defines I replaced the old sparc
definitions in machines.h with:

#  define M_OS USG
#  define SunOS4_SYSDEP_CFLAGS -DUSGr4
#    define HAVE_SYS_SIGLIST
#    define HAVE_VFPRINTF
#    define VOID_SIGHANDLER
#    define HAVE_ALLOCA
#    define HAVE_STRERROR
#    define HAVE_GETGROUPS

Here's the problems I encountered:

* For some reason the PPROPMT and SPROMPT macros defined on the "cc" line
  got substituted without the closing quote.  For now I just hacked up the
  "cc -E" output so that it would compile.  I don't know why, but somewhere
  the quote was getting eaten.  I'd like to know why, but don't have time
  to chase it down.

* All instances of the "ar" command in the library Makefiles use the 
  depreciated 'l' flag which isn't supported anymore.

* readline.c didn't compile at first because /usr/include/sys/reg.h defines
  "PC" as "(1)" and PC is used as a variable.  I just threw #ifdef PC / 
  #undef PC in readline.c to fix it.

* Trying to link -Bstatic caused cc to look for libaio.a, which was missing.
  Removing -Bstatic fixed this.

* globbing is messed up and always seems to chop the first 2 characters off
  file names.  Unfortunately this makes bash highly unusable.

If anyone else has had any luck or has time to track this last problem down
you'd be doing everyone a favor.  Please send me mail or post if you
need or have more info.
