Re: [Bug-readline] Missing semicolon in _rl_strnicmp in util.c

[Laurent Moss]

Hi Chet,

I think the relevant Canadian aspect is that I'm using a "i686-pc-cygwin" build machine to build a GNU cross-toolchain to be hosted on a "i686-pc-mingw32" machine, which somehow leads to HAVE_STRCASECMP being undefined. I get this compile error during the build of the cross-GDB.

By the way, I stumbled upon a GDB bug report showing, among others, readline-related compile errors on MinGW 64-bit:

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15340

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=6967

With my setup (building GDB 7.4.1 for a MinGW 32-bit host), I only ran in the very last compile error (which I reported here).

Regards,

Laurent

Thanks for the report.  Is there something significant about the `Canadian'
aspect? :-)
