Re: irix 5.3 (guile 1.5.1)

[Bill Schottstaedt]

Following up the previous note, in guile 1.5.1, all's well
except that the SGI compiler wants the GC_noop1 declaration
to precede its use.  As a side note, in Solaris 2.7, I
got this warning:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.. -I./.. -I../libltdl -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes 
-c posix.c  -fPIC -DPIC -DPIC -o posix.o
posix.c: In function `scm_sethostname':
posix.c:1579: warning: implicit declaration of function `sethostname'

(as well as the complaint about GC_noop1).

And, perhaps not a bug but it stopped me, in both Irix 5.3 and
Solaris 2.7, the build stopped with:

creating libguile.la
(cd .libs && rm -f libguile.la && ln -s ../libguile.la libguile.la)

In Linux and LinuxPPC everything went smoothly.


Here's the SGI error:
