Ah yes i have forgotten to report another problem with rts.{h,c} in rts.h if HAVE_STRSIGNAL is defined it does declare the function char *strsignal( int ) witch conflicts with the strsignal definition in the cygwin include file string.h const char *_EXFUN(strsignal, (int __signo)); => compiler abort

Funny - I have never experienced this problem, and I have been compiling GPC under Cygwin since last summer.

Perhaps you have a slightly different version of the header (the only difference I think is the `const', and this might not be there in other versions)...

If we have defined HAVE_STRSIGNAL does it mean we have a strsignal function defined in string.h or does it only mean the lib has one ?

AFAICS it means that it is defined in one of the standard headers.

It means the lib has one. But the new test STRSIGNAL_DECLARED means that it's declared (in string.h or signal.h). Frank -- Frank Heckenbach, frank@g-n-u.de, http://fjf.gnu.de/ GPC To-Do list, latest features, fixed bugs: http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~gnu-pascal/todo.html
