Really Weird Problem

[Jon Parry-McCulloch <John.Parry-McCulloch@liffe.com>]

Greetings,

I'm trying to build the latest development release on Solaris 2.6. I need to
do this becuase some of the changes from Release 1.1 are needed to make it
all work properly.

But.

First, if I try a clean config-make then it dies in util-int.c. It seems
that configure thinks everything's POSIX but compiler thinks otherwise. The
result is that for three of the _r functions, it uses the wrong prototypes.

To fix this I just changed the HAVE_CTIME_R definitiions in portable.h so
the code will build cleanly.

Horror upon horror... the code compiles well enough, but the linker
core-dumps.

Anyone else seen anything like this?

At present I'm using a slightly hackd version of Release 1.1 (includes
ldbm_datum_init(), the cursor fix, and the ldiff-ified str_ functions.
