Re: [bug-inetutils] Many complaints on HAVE_..._SHORT_NAME

   With an up-to-date tree I had to issue

      $ git reset --hard e0ecda

   since the recent sighandler patch is broken in OpenBSD.

   Then I applied your patch. The compilation completes in OpenBSD 4.6
   without any problems, and without the warnings that initiated this
   thread. Let me add that the warnings have appeared in the last few
   months, because there has been some time since I built the complete
   source on any of my systems. I am positive that those warnings were
   not present earlier on.

Good, will push in a few.

   By chance I did notice that the configuration step issued on
   NexentaCore produces the empty file 'config.hin]'. Observe the
   bracket. There Bash is the preferred shell. I even issued 'make
   distclean', and the file was generated again. Could there be a
   defect in the bootstrap code?  The bootstrap was issued on a system
   running Debian GNU/Linux testing.

configure is plain POSIX shell, so bash isn't a requirement; could you
try tracing configure and see what goes bonky?

  sh -x ./configure > log 2>&1
