RE: new snapshot available: coreutils-7.4.125-eca6

[Voelker, Bernhard]

make failed for me:
- non-root

- Solaris 10:
  $ uname -a
  SunOS avanti 5.10 Generic_127111-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise

- Compiler:
  $ cc -V
  cc: Forte Developer 7 C 5.4 2002/03/09

- ./configure --prefix=/user/ecs2 --disable-nls

- Make output snippet:

Code place (src/sort.c):

1704   static const char orders [UCHAR_LIM] = {
1705     ['K']=1, ['M']=2, ['G']=3, ['T']=4, ['P']=5, ['E']=6, ['Z']=7,
['Y']=8,
1706     ['k']=1,
1707   };


I don't know if Solaris plus the Sun compiler collection is
supposed to be supported by the coreutils team, but I didn't
have problems with older versions (e.g. 6.10). I'd be happy
if I could continue using GNU coreutils on that platform ;-)

Need more info?

Have a nice day,
