[Sbcl-devel] patch: restore CVS building on non-x86/SPARC platforms

[Brian M. <bma...@cs...>]

Hello,

On x86 and SPARC foreign symbol names are the same as the C name of the
symbol - that is, the name of the symbol "open" is just "open". On other
architectures there is a prepended underscore - "open" is "_open".
Nikodemus's linkage-table patch inadvertantly removed a call to SB-
VM:EXTERN-ALIEN-NAME in SB-POSIX, which does this prepending when it is
necessary. As a result, sb-posix is now broken on non-x86 or SPARC.

The attached patch restores this call.
