[Bug-tar] GNU Tar 1.16.1 v. Tru64

[Steven M. Schweda]

   In case this is news, it seems that the "isblank" test in the
configurator may be a little optimistic.

      CC=cc ./configure

[...]
checking whether isblank is declared... yes
[...]

      make

   Minor annoyance:

source='utimens.c' object='utimens.o' libtool=no  DEPDIR=.deps depmode=tru64 /us
r/bin/posix/sh ../build-aux/depcomp  cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..      -g -c
utimens.c
cc: Warning: utimens.c, line 145: In this statement, the referenced type of the
pointer value "t" is const, but the referenced type of the target of this assign
ment is not. (notconstqual)
  return utimes (file, t);
-----------------------^


   Then:

cc  -g   -o tar  buffer.o compare.o create.o  delete.o extract.o xheader.o  incr
emen.o list.o misc.o  names.o sparse.o system.o  tar.o transform.o update.o  utf
8.o ../lib/libtar.a  -liconv -lrt
ld:
Unresolved:
isblank
*** Exit 1
[...]

   Disabling the "#define HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK 1" line in config.h solves
the build problem.

   Wake me if more info would be useful.
