Version: GCC-2.6.3, 2.7.0, 2.7.1, 2.7.2
Architecture: AIX-3.2.5
Problem: fixincludes attempts to fix strdup prototype but fails

The shell script "fixincludes" in gcc-2.6.3 through gcc-2.7.2 contains
the lines:

  sed -e 's/extern[     ]*int[  ]*strlen();/extern unsigned int strlen();/' \
      -e 's/extern[     ]*int[  ]*ffs[  ]*(long);/extern int ffs(int);/' \
      -e 's/strdup(char \*s1);/strdup(const char *s1);/' \

along with the comment "Add missing const for strdup on OSF/1 V3.0."
AIX-3.2.5 also needs this prototype fixed.  Unfortunately, the specified
"sed" pattern is slightly too specific to fix the AIX-3.2.5 prototype.  I
replaced the third line thus:

  sed -e 's/extern[     ]*int[  ]*strlen();/extern unsigned int strlen();/' \
      -e 's/extern[     ]*int[  ]*ffs[  ]*(long);/extern int ffs(int);/' \
      -e 's/strdup(char \*/strdup(const char */' \

and then AIX was happy, too.     -- George Mitchell (george@protools.com)
