[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #30721] Can't build tip on FreeBSD

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #30721 (project octave):

This does look like a problem with gnulib.  Gnulib is under rapid development
so it may be worth trying to update your gnulib directory.  I assume that you
started your build attempts in a brand new 'hg clone' directory.  There could
have been leftover stuff from the automake-1.10 experience that would affect
gnulib.

The error seems to suggest that dirfd is not available from the standard
namespace, although configure seems to have found it.

I'm attaching a small C++ program which tries to call dirfd.

Compile it with 'g++ dirfd_test.cpp' and then run './a.out'.  It should
compile and run cleanly.

Assuming it does work then it is something with gnulib and it is beyond me;
that is not my area of expertise.
