powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0
>Description:
1. strsignal() is declared to return char* in the system
header file (/usr/include/string.h);
gdb declares it as returning "const char *"
in a couple places.  This causes the compile to abort.

Note that the system header has the declaration, but
the system C library does not have the function!
The C library is from fileset bos.rte.libc version 4.3.2.12.

The /usr/include/string.h file is from fileset bos.adt.include 4.3.2.10.

2. "rs6000-core.c", line 441.15: 1506-022 (S) "c_impl" is not a member of "struct core_dumpx".
My machine has the core_dumpx structure, but no c_impl member.

The /usr/include/sys/core.h file is from fileset bos.adt.include 4.3.2.10.
>How-To-Repeat:
build it on an AIX 4.3.2 machine, probably
