Possible - reason: using gcc we have longer CFLAGS. Fix: add USE_GNU_TOOLS+=awk - iff IRIX and gcc. Problem: this might affect other packages as well. - One might consider depending libtool on gawk for IRIX. -kcah - -hack devel/bison -O* bug with sunpro -cdate Tue Nov 2 17:30:48 GMT 2004 -who sketch -port sparc (Solaris) -file devel/bison/Makefile : 1.49 -descr - bison's quotearg_buffer_restyled() has issues with certain compilers - using optimisation flags.

Does that have anything to do with anything? -kcah -- cgit v1.2.3
