Description Aard Keimpema 2004-08-09 03:41:26 UTC

Upon emerging hexcurse the following error occurs:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Aard Keimpema 2004-08-09 03:51:20 UTC

The problem is caused by this code portion in getopt.c:
--------------------
#ifdef _SGIAPI
#include <alloca.h>
#else
char *alloca ();
#endif
-------------------
By simply removing the redefinition of alloca the problem is solved. I've attached  a patch for this and an updated ebuild. I've tested the ebuild using gcc-3.4.1 and 
gcc-3.3.4
