Re: [B2-devel] AC_HEADER_STDC not exactly broken

[>> G-L. / <st...@wi...>]

What _does_ seem to be broken here is the two calls for AC_EGREP_CPP to 
detect which gcc version is installed.
The defines in the test and everything are okay, yet both tests fail and 
return no. (Possibly also the reason why STDC_HEADERS isn't defined? It 
won't compile unless I set that manually in config.h)
Then there's a second error while compiling:

In file included from sysdeps.h:36,
                 from ../main.cpp:21:
/usr/include/sys/types.h:117: syntax error before `;' token

Which comes down to this piece of code in types.h:

#ifdef  __USE_BSD
# ifndef __daddr_t_defined
typedef __daddr_t daddr_t;
typedef __caddr_t caddr_t;   // <- 117
#  define __daddr_t_defined
# endif
#endif

I don't see anything really wrong in the code unless caddr_t is already 
defined. I was wondering if this could be another configure problem 
though, if one of the #ifdef's should actually be failing there?
Autoconf 2.57, automake 1.7.5, m4 1.4, glibc 2.3.2, gcc 3.2.3, Gentoo 
linux 1.4.3.10.
