Re: pkg/56336 (m4 fails to build on Solaris 10)

[箱山洋]

Dear m4 developers,

I found a bug of m4-1.4.19 on Solaris 10 (SPARC), so I sent a bug report to 
pkgsrc (http://gnats.netbsd.org/56336).

The message says:
./m4: internal error detected; please report this bug to <bug-m4@gnu.org>: 
Illegal instruction

So, I also forward the bug report to bug-m4.


Best regards,

Hiroshi Hakoyama

m4 was updated to m4-1.4.19 and a build error occured.

# cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/m4
# make
...
  CC       stackvma.o
In file included from stackvma.c:1476:0:

This error is similar to the report at 
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-m4/2021-05/msg00020.html
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-m4/2021-05/txtSlhgMVQhua.txt

So, I patched ./lib/stackvma.c like:

--- lib/stackvma.c.orig
+++ lib/stackvma.c
@@ -17,6 +17,10 @@

 #include <config.h>

+#if defined __sun || defined __ANDROID__
+# undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
+#endif
+
 /* Specification.  */
 #include "stackvma.h"

m4 was able to built by this patch, but the execution of m4 showed an error:

# ./m4
*** stack smashing detected ***:  terminated
./m4: internal error detected; please report this bug to <bug-m4@gnu.org>:
