Seems like a bug...

To whom it may concern,

Sorry if this is my fault, I am kind of a newb...  so this is the best I
can give ya.
I am trying to get statically compiled coreutils tools on my machine.  I
downloaded the source, set the CFLAGS environment variable to statically
compile, and ./configure, then did a make and got the error below.


mv -f .deps/userspec.Tpo .deps/userspec.Po
gcc -std=gnu99  -I.      -static -O2 -g -MT utimecmp.o -MD -MP
-MF .deps/utimecmp.Tpo -c -o utimecmp.o utimecmp.c
In file included from utimecmp.c:34:
utimens.h:2: error: conflicting types for 'futimens'
///usr/include/sys/stat.h:370: error: previous declaration of 'futimens'
was here
make[2]: *** [utimecmp.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/coreutils-6.9/lib'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/coreutils-6.9/lib'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
address@hidden coreutils-6.9]# 



I did a make check to see if that would yield anything good:

address@hidden coreutils-6.9]# make check
Making check in lib

Info about my machine:


address@hidden coreutils-6.9]# uname -a
Linux nixbox.palace 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 #1 SMP Wed May 23 22:35:01 EDT

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
