Bug 39419 – m4 compilation fails in /usr/include/bits/sigstack.h

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Moshe Kamensky 2004-01-25 22:49:02 UTC]

I'm trying to install gentoo from stage1. During the bootstrap stage, while emerging m4 (m4-1.4-r1) I get the following compilation error:

gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.. -I. -I./../lib -I/root/include -O2 -march=athlon-tbird -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer m4.c
gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.. -I. -I./../lib -I/root/include -O2 -march=athlon-tbird -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer builtin.c
In file included from /usr/include/signal.h:341,
                 from /usr/include/sys/signal.h:1,
                 from m4.c:22:
/usr/include/bits/sigstack.h:55: two types specified in one empty declaration
make[1]: *** [m4.o] Error 1

I don't know if it happens on regular emerge or just during boostrap.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /usr/portage
2. scripts/bootstrap.sh
3.

Actual Results:  
Compilation failed

Expected Results:  
compile successfully

Ok, I've just downloaded m4 from the original gnu site, and tried to compile it with the system I already have (Mandrake 9.1, gcc 3.2.2). Got the same results.

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2004-05-03 12:31:11 UTC]

still an issue with latest stable gcc ?

[Comment 3 Moshe Kamensky 2004-05-04 04:31:00 UTC]

I've just tried with gcc 3.3.3, and there is no problem.

latest stable stuff works
