Agreed - there's no way to change the #if line in newlib to match glibc's behavior until we also change newlib's automatic defines; and that would have a far-more-reaching scope (all newlib headers would have to be scrubbed for which conditions to use for which functions), so I pushed the patch as-is without modifying the #if line. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
