"-EGADS - violates the principle of least surprise" -- Casey Schaufler
The 'ifdef LINUX_STDIO' in discard.c can probably die, as we seem to have an
fpurge() function in glibc since 2.1.95. Anybody still running a glibc older
than that deserves to not have nice things.
Not sure what m_getfld.c is doing there. Something underhanded, I suspect.
