Closes PR pkg/42472. May want to revisit this later, though.

This makes f2c work. Bump PKGREVISION.
The default CPP points to gcc, which broke f2c because gcc is unable to
preprocess Fortran files as the Fortran compiler is not installed.
Surprisingly, /usr/bin/cpp is just a wrapper around gcc, but it explicitly
passes '-x c' to cpp to force the language to be C and bypass the .F
extension.

Update OK'ed by agc@
Pkgsrc changes:
o Replace perl and parrot interpreter references where we can
(one perl module not available at pre-configure time not done)
o Remove patches which are no longer necessary, since they either
came from upstream or have been adopted there
o Update the PLIST to sync with what's being installed
Upstream changes:
- Functionality
+ The FileHandle PMC now exposes the exit code of child process
that was run as pipe.
+ Experimental support for overriding VTABLE invoke in PIR objects
was added.
+ The method 'type' was added to the PackfileAnnotations PMC.
+ The internals of the parrot calling conventions, PCC, were
reworked. All call paths now use a CallSignature object for
passing arguments and return values.
+ The new API-function 'Parrot_ext_call' was added for calling
into C-land.
+ The fixed-size allocator was improved.
+ The files installed by 'make install-dev' are now covered by
'make install' as well.
+ The experimental ops 'fetch' and 'vivify' were added.
+ The -I option to the command 'parrot' now prepends items to
the search path.
+ The Context struct was substituted with auto attributes
(context_auto_attrs branch).
+ Use the osname determined in auto::arch in subsequent configuration
steps (convert_OSNAME branch).
+ Eliminated dependence on Perl 5 '%Config' in auto::format
(auto_format_no_Config branch).
+ MultiSub PMCs now stringify to the name of their first candidate,
instead of the number of candidates.
+ The platform detection at the start of the configuration process
was improved.
+ The 'lineof' method on CodeString objects now precomputes line
number information to be more efficient on variable-width
encoded strings.
+ P6object now supports .WHO and .WHERE methods on protoobjects.
- Compilers
+ A shiny new self-hosting implementation of NQP has been added
in ext/nqp-rx.
- New NQP available as nqp-rx.pbc or parrot-nqp fakecutable.
- NQP includes direct support for grammars and regexes, including
protoregexes.
- NQP has a new PAST-based regex engine (intended to replace PGE).
- Regexes may contain code assertions, parameters, lexical
declarations, and more.
- Double-quoted strings now interpolate scalar variables and closures.
- Subroutine declarations are now lexical by default.
+ PCT
- PAST::Block now supports an 'nsentry' attribute.
- PAST::Var allows 'contextual' scope.
- Attribute bindings now return the bound value.
- Platforms
+ Fixes for the port of Parrot to RTEMS were applied. Yay, first
port to a real time OS!
+ On NetBSD, shared libs are now used.
- Performance
+ Use the the fixed-sized allocator in the Context and the
CallSignature PMC.
+ Many small speed improvements.
- New deprecations
+ MT19937, the Mersenne twisted pseudorandom number generator,
is now hosted on github and will be removed from the Parrot
core. (eligible in 2.1)
+ The 'Parrot_call_*' functions for invoking a sub/method object from C are
deprecated. They are replaced by 'Parrot_ext_call'. (eligible in 2.1)
+ All bitwise VTABLE functions are deprecated. (eligible in 2.1)
+ All bitwise ops will become dynops. (eligible in 2.1)
- Realized deprecations
+ The slice VTABLE entry was removed.
+ The last traces of the 'malloc' garbage collector were removed.
+ Parrot_pcc_constants() was renamed to Parrot_pcc_get_constants().
+ The deprecated functions from the Embedding/Extension interface
were removed.
+ The library YAML/Parser/Syck.pir was removed.
+ The VTABLE function instantiate_str() was removed.
+ Building of parrot_nqp was removed.
- Tests
+ The test coverage of the time-related ops was much improved.
+ New testing functions in Test::More: lives_ok() and dies_ok().
+ The Perl 5 based test scripts t/op/bitwist.t, t/op/comp.t,
t/op/inf_nan.t, t/op/literal.t, t/op/number.t, t/op/sprintf2.t,
and t/op/00ff-dos.t were converted to PIR.
+ The test scripts t/op/annotate.t and t/op/time.t have begun
to be translated from Perl 5 to PIR.
+ In some tests the dependency on %Config from Perl 5 was eliminated.
- Documentation
+ The meaning of 'p' means in NCI function call signatures was clarified.
- Tools
+ The stub for a new language, as created by mk_language_shell.pl,
now relies on the PIR-based tools, which are replacing the Perl
5-based tools.
+ The library Configure.pir was added.
+ The library distutils.pir was added.
- Miscellaneous
+ The mailing list parrot-users and a corresponding google group was created,
http://groups.google.com/group/parrot-users.
+ Many bugfixes, code cleanups, and coding standard fixes.

* New function EXT:TRIM-IF removes leading and trailing matches.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/seq-func-ext.html#trim-if> for
details.
* New user command "LocalSymbols" (abbreviated ":ls").
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/repl.html#debugger-main-deb-step>

ECL 9.12.3:
===========
* Visible changes:
- When converting rationals to floats, ECL now rounds instead of using the
routine in GMP, which truncates.
- LOAD open streams in buffered mode. It does not cause any significant
performance increase except in broken network filesystems that lack
buffering such as some implementations of NFS.
ECL 9.12.2:
===========
* Bugs fixed:
- RANDOM broken on 64-bits architectures.
- The debugger now shows the package names of inspected variables.
- The code in CLX that dealt with interrupts had become outdated.
* Other changes:
- Methods now show up in the debugger with their original name.
- Enlarged the string buffers used for reading and parsing lisp data.
ECL 9.12.1:
===========
* Platform support:
- Support for Itanium.
- Support for Solaris and SunStudio compiler.
- Support for Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 10 beta.
- Support for Cygwin.
* Visible changes:
- New function EXT:ARRAY-RAW-DATA returns a non-adjustable vector of type
(UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) with the content of an array. The returned array overlaps
with the original, so any change on one will affect the other.
- LOAD works on special files (/dev/null and the like).
- New command line option --version outputs the version number preceded
by the implementation name ("ECL 9.11.1" in this particular release).
- MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND is optimally replaced with a LET form when the number
of variables is 1.
- ECL now accepts Windows' UNC pathnames.
(with-open-file (s #P"//JUANJO-IMAC/Public Folder/index.html"
:direction :input)
(loop for l = (read-line s nil nil)
while l
do (princ l)))
- The default memory limits are increased up to 512Mb for 32 bit images and
4Gb for 64-bits systems.
- The bignums generated by RANDOM did not contain enough random bits.
* Bugs fixed:
- In single-threaded builds, ECL did not properly restore the signal mask
before jumping out of a signal handler.
- Floating point exceptions were sometimes ignored, leading to infinite loops.
- A new configuration flag is added, --with-dffi. This flag allows
deactivating the foreign function interface when the compiler does not
support inline assembly with the GCC syntax and libffi is not available.
- In a multithreaded ECL, when handling a Ctr-C/SIGINT asynchronous interrupt,
the CONTINUE restart was not always available.
- In cygwin, LOAD was unable to load and execute binary files.
- In cygwin, FASL files can not lack a file extension, because dlopen()
then looks for a file ending in ".dll" and fails.
- In cygwin, files that are dlopen'ed must have executable permissions.
- ECL ignored the IGNORABLE declaration.
- The IGNORE/IGNORABLE declarations accept (but ignore) arguments of the
for (FUNCTION function-name).
- SUBTYPEP caused a SIGSEGV when the input was a not finalized class.
- Due to the SUBTYPEP bug, ECL could not compile DEFMETHOD forms whose
arguments referenced non-finalized classes
- When supplied an error value, (EXT:SAFE-EVAL form env &optional err-value)
never returned the output of the evaluated form.
- FIND-SYMBOL accepted string designators instead of just strings, as
mandated by the ANSI specification.
- APPEND copied also the last argument.
- (LOG #C(x x)) now produces a better result when x == 0
- (ATAN #C(0.0 1.0)) no longer produces an infinite recursion.
- Solved a hard to hit bug in DEFCLASS's routine for detecting collisions in
slot names
- LOG and LOG1P did not work properly with NaNs under linux.
- ECL had problems combining #. and #n=/#n# reader macros.
- FDEFINITION and SYMBOL-FUNCTION caused an incorrect error condition when
acting on NIL.
- The optimizer for TYPEP did not work when passed three arguments.
* Clos:
- CLOS:SET-FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE-FUNCTION broke the value if SI:INSTANCE-SIG,
preventing any further access to the instance slots.
- The optimized slot accessors check that the instances are up to date.
- The use of MAKE-INSTANCES-OBSOLETE now forces UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-REDEFINED-CLASS
to be invoked even if the slots did not change.
- ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION-USING-CLASS does not provide a default method class.
* Sockets:
- The socket option TCP_NODELAY option has been fixed: it was improperly using
the socket interface SOL_SOCKET instead of IPPROTO_TCP (Chun Tian)
- sockopt-linger and (setf sockopt-linger) now work as they should, using
the struct linger argument (M. Mondor)
* ASDF:
- ASDF:MAKE-BUILD now accepts also a :PROLOGUE-CODE argument with code to
be executed before all lisp files are run.
- C:BUILDER's argument :PROLOGUE-CODE can now be a lisp form. In the case of
standalone programs the prologue code is always executed after cl_boot() has
been invoked.
- QUIT did not work from standalone executables created with neither ASDF
nor with C:BUILDER.

Patch provided by Peter Bex.
Changes in 4.3.0:
- removed tracing facility and apply-hook (see the "trace" egg
for a replacement for tracing and breakpoints)
- chicken-install(1): renamed `-host-extension' option to `-host'
- added support for a make(1) configuration file ("config.make")
- `chicken-install' now allows specifiying a proxy for retrieving
extensions over HTTP (thanks to Nicolas Pelletier)
- fixed bug in `cond-expand' that incorrectly renamed feature-identifiers
if the form was the product of a syntax expansion (reported by Thomas
Bushnell)
- import-libraries are only generated by the compiler if they don't exist
yet and if the content has actually changed (this simplifies makefile-
rules in some cases)
- it is now possible to pass a config-file to `make(1)' instead of specifying
all build-options as variables on the command-line (see README)
- removed compiler options for "benchmark-mode" and replaced them with a
new optimization level (5) (note that `-O5' does not imply fixnum mode
anymore)
- `hen.el' and `scheme-complete.el' are not bundled with the core system
anymore - `hen.el' is currently not maintained, and `scheme-complete.el'
has its own release cycle; both files are available, see
http://chicken.wiki.br/emacs
- removed meaningless benchmark suite and cleaned up
- added optional argument to `grep' that allows applying a function
to each matched item (contributed by Tony Sidaway)
- added extension-property `import-only', which makes it possible to
create extensions that have no runtime part
- the argument to `seconds->string', `seconds->utc-time' and
`seconds->local-time' is now optional and defaults to the value
of `(current-seconds)' (suggested by Mario Goulart)
- removed read-syntax for `syntax' form
- fixed bug in `get-condition-property'
- fixed bug in windows version of `process-execute'
- TCP timeouts throw exception of kind `timeout' to allow
distinguishing between timeouts and other errors
- removed some internal functions that manipulate environments
- fixed bugs in `standard-extension' (`setup-api' module) and added keyword
arguments for building static extensions and adding custom properties
- when cross-compiling, `chicken-install(1)' doesn't pass `-setup-mode'
(the host tools should not attempt to load target binaries)
- `installation-prefix' in the `setup-api' module was not always correctly
set
- the `-force' option in `chicken-install(1)' overrides the CHICKEN version
check
- disabled e-mail feature in `chicken-bug(1)', since it doesn't work
anyway, in the moment
- fixed bug in `reexport' that made it impossible to reexport core library
definitions
- fix in optimizer that sometimes caused C functions for inlined
procedures to be emitted multiple times (Thanks to Joerg Wittenberger)
- documented `define-compiler-syntax' and `let-compiler-syntax'
- printer for hash-tables shows current number of stores items
- when upgrading during installation of a dependency `chicken-install'
shows the version to upgrade to (Thanks to Christian Kellermann)
- Updated scheme-complete (Thanks to Alex Shinn)
- fix for pathnames with whitespace in 'runtests.sh' on Windows
- fix for 'normalize-pathname' with absolute pathname argument
- added 'decompose-directory' to unit files
- fix for 'local-timezone-abbreviation' - wasn't using the current time
so tz-name constant
- deprecated 'make-pathname' separator argument

Pkgsrc changes:
- Adjust some patches
- Remove patches integrated upstream
Upstream changes:
"5.10.1 is a maintenance release for perl 5.10, incorporating various
minor bugfixes and optimisations."
Nonetheless some incompatibles changes are noteworthy and are related
to:
- flip-flop and defined-or operators behavior in switch statement
- type-based dispatch and overloading of the smart match operator
- 'use feature :5.10*' semantics
- Perl development switched to git
- internal structure of the ext/ perl source directory changed
- removal of the modules Test::Harness::Straps, ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes
and ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish
- the Module::CoreList module no longer contains the %:patchlevel hash
- a bugfix related to the handling of the /m modifier and qr resulted
in a change of behaviour between 5.8.x and 5.10.0 (this was missing from
perl 5.10.0 perldelta).
For a complete list of changes see included perl5101delta(1) or
http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5101delta.html

Here is breif list of changes from 0.8.13:
2009/11/22
Gauche 0.9: Major Feature Enhancements
* C API incompatible changes: Several incompatible C API
changes are introduced, which may cause some extension to
fail to compile. See API Changes in 0.9 for the details.
* New features
o New module: rfc.zlib: Zlib compression/decompression.
o New module: rfc.sha: SHA2 support. rfc.sha1 is
superseded by this module.
o New module: util.sparse: Sparse vectors backed up by
space-efficient trie, and hash-tables implemented on
top of sparse vectors. They are memory efficient than
the builtin hash tables when you want to keep tens of
millions of entries.
o Autoprovide: You no longer need 'provide' form for
most of times. If (require "X") successfully loads
X.scm and it doesn't have a provide form, the feature
"X" is automatically provided. See the "Require and
provide" section of the reference for more details.
o Module gauche.test: Improved testing for
exceptions. You can now test whether a specific type
of condition is thrown by giving (test-error
condition-type) as the expected result. See the manual
entry for more details.
o Module rfc.http: Now handles proxy by :proxy keyword
argument. You can also easily compose
application/x-www-form-urlencoded and
multipart/form-data message to send form
parameters. New procedures: http-put and http-delete.
o Module rfc.mime: Added support of composing a MIME
message.
o Module gauche.threads: New procedures: thread-stop!,
thread-cont!, thread-state.
o Module gauche.termios: On Windows native support, this
module provides Windows Console API instead of POSIX
termios API, since emulationg POSIX termios on Windows
is too much. A set of common high-level API that can
be used on both POSIX and Windows are also added.
o Module gauche.dictionary provides a bidirectional map,
<bimap>.
o run-process in module gauche.process, and builtin
sys-exec and sys-fork-and-exec support :directory
keyword argument to specify the working directory of
the executed process.
o Module file.util provides create-directory-tree and
check-directory-tree.
o Module gauche.net provides low-level socket
operations: socket-sendmsg, socket-buildmsg, and
socket-ioctl. Call-with-client-socket takes new
keyword args to specify buffering mode for the socket.
o Module www.cgi: cgi-main switches the buffering mode
of stderr to line, so that the httpd log can record
error messages line-by-line (much less clutter than
before).
* Major fixes and improvements
o Fixed build problem on OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
o Performance is greatly improved on floating point
number arithmetics, optional argument handling of
builtin procedures, and case-lambda.
o Now all whitespace characters defined in R6RS works as
intertoken spaces in the source code.
o A warning message is printed when a thread exits with
an error and no other thread retrieve its status by
thread-join! before the thread is GC-ed. This helps
troubleshooting. Since thread-join! is the only way to
know if the thread exitted by an error, you have
either to call thread-join! to make sure to check the
status, or to write the thread thunk to catch all
errors and handle them properly.
o Anonymous module name is #f now, instead of (somewhat
arbitrarily chosen) |#|.
o Some enhancements on symbols: 'uninterned' symbos are
officially supported (symbols generated by gensym have
been uninterned, but never been documented
officially.) Uninterned symbols are written as
#:symbol a la CommonLisp. Uninterned symbols are not
registered to the internal symbol table, so there's no
worry about name crash. The only way to refer to the
same uninterned symbol from more than one place in the
source code is to use srfi-38 notation (#n= and
#n#). You can create uninterned symbol by
string->uninterned-symbol and check whether a symbol
is interned or not by symbol-intened?. There is also a
new procedure, symbol-sans-prefix.
* Windows support
o Precompiled binary installer for Windows is now
available. Get Gauche-mingw-0.9.exe. It is supported
on Windows NT 3.5 and later (sorry, no support for
Win9x.)
o Precompiled binary does not include thread and gdbm
support (yet). It is compiled to use utf-8 internal
encoding.
o Some Unix-specific system functions are not available,
or have slightly different semantics because they are
emulated via Windows API. If a function is not
available on Windows, the reference manual says
so. Windows version hasn't be used heavily, so expect
bugs.
o Large character set support on Windows Console is
pretty limited. It is recommended to run gosh under
Emacs for interactive use. See WindowsConsole for the
details.
2008/10/6
Gauche 0.8.14: Maintenance release.
* Bug fixes
o In some cases, an argument list passed to apply wasn't
copied.
o On some platforms, signal mask of threads could be
altered inadvertently by exception handling due to the
different behavior of sigsetjmp.
o format now raises an error if there's an incomplete
tilde sequence in the given format string.
o Internal parameter (gauche.parameter) code had a bug
that allocates not enough storage.
o There was a couple of bugs in dynamic-load that could
cause dead lock or leaving internal state
inconsistent.
o Module rfc.http: The 'host' field became inconsistent
when redirection happened.
* R6RS-ish extensions
o R6RS reader directive #!r6rs, #!fold-case and
#!no-fold-case are recognized now. The latter two can
be used to change case-folding mode of the reader in
the middle of the source code. See the manual for the
details.
o New core procedures: finite?, infinite?, nan?, eof-object.
o Two argument version of log: (log z b) is for base-b
logarithm of z.
* Extension-building improvements
o gauche-config script provides --rpath-flag option to
retrieve platform-specific rpath link option
(e.g. "-Wl,--rpath -Wl,").
o gauche-package script accepts --local option to the
'compile' and 'install' command to add local include
paths and local library search paths
conveniently. Basically, gauche-package compile
--local=DIR package.tgz causes -IDIR/include and
-LDIR/lib to be added to the actual compile and link
command lines. To give more than one directory, say
--local=DIR1:DIR2:....
o A stub generator and ahead-of-time compiler (the
facility to pre-compile Scheme code into VM
instruction array as static C data) is integrated,
allowing C and Scheme code to be mixed in the same
source; this feature is not yet documented and the
details are subject to change, but the curious mind
can take a look at ext/dbm/*, which were much simpler
than the previous version.
* Additional improvements, new procedures & macros
o GC is now Boehm GC 7.1.
o Large part of VM code is rewritten for better
performance and maintainability.
o New procedure: hash-table-copy.
o New convenience macros: rlet1 and if-let1.
o You can now hook exit operation by the exit-handler
parameter. See the "Program termination" section of
the manual for the detailed description of this
feature.
o Made sys-lstat work like sys-stat on Windows platform;
one less headache to write cross-platform code.
o Module gauche.net: Constants SHUT_RD, SHUT_WR and
SHUT_RDWR are defined to pass to socket-shutdown.
o Module file.util: New convenience procedures:
copy-directory*, touch-files, remove-files,
delete-files.
o Module dbm.*: Renamed dbm-rename to dbm-move for the
consistency. (The old name is kept as alias for the
backward compatibility). Added dbm-copy and dbm-move
missing from dbm.fsdbm. Also properly detects
variations of suffixes of ndbm-compatible database at
configuration time.
o Module www.cgi: :mode option is added to the MIME part
handler passed to get-mime-parts to specify the
permissions of the saved file.
o Module rfc.ip: New procedure: ipv4-global-address?.
