[bug-rcs] rcs-5.7.96 build feedback

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

I have a test lab of about 25 flavors of Unix on all of the major CPU
architectures.  Builds and validations of rcs-5.7.96 have been
successful on GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, and NetBSD systems.

However, there are build or test failures on several others.  Here is
a problem summary:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
SGI IRIX MIPS

No C99 compiler available.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solaris 10 AMD64:

gcc -std=gnu99 -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../lib  -I'../lib' -D_REENTRANT 
 -g -O2 -MT b-feph.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/b-feph.Tpo -c -o b-feph.o b-feph.c
b-feph.c: In function `init_ephemstuff':
b-feph.c:171: error: prior parameter's size depends on 'count'

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solaris 10 AMD64 or SPARC:
Compilation with "gcc-4.2.4 -std=gnu99" succeeds, but all tests fail:

./t010: syntax error at line 21: `(' unexpected
FAIL: t010
./t030: syntax error at line 21: `(' unexpected
FAIL: t030
...

Changing SHELL to /bin/ksh, /bin/bash, /usr/local/bin/bash, etc does not help.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solaris 10 AMD64 SPARC:
/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.3 -std=c99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../lib  -I'../lib' 
-D_REENTRANT  -g -O2 -MT merger.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/merger.Tpo -c -o merger.o 
merger.c
merger.c: In function 'merge':
merger.c:98: error: 'label' undeclared (first use in this function)
merger.c:98: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
merger.c:98: error: for each function it appears in.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

MirBSD IA-32:
/usr/bin/mgcc -std=gnu99 -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../lib  -I'../lib'   
-I/usr/local/include -MT b-isr.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/b-isr.Tpo -c -o b-isr.o 
b-isr.c
b-isr.c: In function `scratch_from_context':
b-isr.c:119: error: structure has no member named `uc_stack'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenBSD IA-32:
/usr/bin/cc -std=gnu99 -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../lib  -I'../lib'   
-I/usr/local/include -MT b-isr.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/b-isr.Tpo -c -o b-isr.o 
b-isr.c
b-isr.c: In function `scratch_from_context':
b-isr.c:119: error: structure has no member named `uc_stack'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenSolaris 11 AMD64 with /bin/c99:

Build succeeds, but 11 tests fail:
FAIL: t160
FAIL: t510
FAIL: t511
FAIL: t600
FAIL: t601
FAIL: t603
FAIL: t604
FAIL: t605
FAIL: t606
FAIL: t900
FAIL: t999

------------------------------------------------------------------------

OpenSolaris 11 AMD64 with /bin/cc:

Build succeeds, but 8 tests fail:
FAIL: t600
FAIL: t601
FAIL: t603
FAIL: t604
FAIL: t605
FAIL: t606
FAIL: t900
FAIL: t999

On that system, a build with /usr/sfw/bin/gcc (3.4.3) passes all tests.
