Hello,

I am having trouble compiling glibc-1.09 on SUN4 running SunOS-4.1.3
and I need help and/or advice!

For the library compilation I am using gnu-c, version 2.7.2 and gnu-make
version 3.74.

gcc-2.7.2 compiled fine (or so it seems) but when I try to compile 
c-libraries the compilation ends in an error. Here is an excerpt 
from the compilation log where it apparently breaks down:

"gcc version.c -c -Wall -Wno-parentheses -Wwrite-strings -g  -I.   
   -I/mu/glibc-1.09/sun4 -Isysdeps/unix/bsd/sun/sunos4 
   -Isysdeps/unix/mman -Isysdeps/unix/bsd/sun/sparc -Isysdeps/unix/bsd/sun 
   -Isysdeps/unix/bsd -Isysdeps/unix/common -Isysdeps/unix/inet 
   -Isysdeps/unix/sparc -Isysdeps/unix -Isysdeps/posix -Isysdeps/sparc 
   -Isysdeps/ieee754 -Isysdeps/generic -Isysdeps/stub  -DHAVE_SYS_SIGLIST=1 
   -DHAVE__CTYPE_=1 -DHAVE_PSIGNAL=1  -D_LIBC  -o /mu/glibc-1.09/sun4/version.o
In file included from stdio.h:1,
                 from version.c:20:
stdio/stdio.h:167: parse error before `void'
gmake[1]: *** [/mu/glibc-1.09/sun4/version.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/mu/glibc-1.09'
gmake: *** [lib] Error 2"

I did some poking around and it appears that the offending line in 
stdio.h file quoted by make reads:

   extern __NORETURN void __libc_fatal __P ((__const char *__message));
   
If I remove __NORETURN the compilation will proceed until another occurence
of __NORETURN. Proceeding this way (i.e. removing __NORETURN in several more 
*.h files) seems to let me finish the compilation. By the way, I also need
to remove 
__CONSTVALUE from stdlib.h (and few other *.h files). What seems bizzare
is that 
once the compilation is complete this way all the library tests appear to pass. 

Normally I would accept this procedure as a fix. However when I try to use
the library 
built this way many compilations suddendly no longer work (they worked
before I had the
library). 

By the way, the gcc was built with gnu-ld and I try to build the library
with the 
same option.


Help please. 

Thanks.
