Compilation of XEmacs-21.4.11 on Solaris 8 Intel (GCC 3.2) FAILS

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! Summary: Compilation of XEmacs-21.4.11 on Solaris 8 Intel (GCC 3.2) FAILS Details: ./src/s/sol2.h and va_list hack Near the top of ./src/s/sol2.h there is a conditional of the form: /* Fix understandable GCC lossage on Solaris 2.6 */ #if defined(__GNUC__) && OS_RELEASE >= 56 && !defined(NOT_C_CODE) Directly under this is a block of code to hack the definition of va_list which does not succeed on my system. The block in question is: /* GCC va_list munging is a little messed up */ #define __GNUC_VA_LIST #define _VA_LIST_ #define _VA_LIST va_list typedef void *__gnuc_va_list; typedef __gnuc_va_list va_list; If left in the following problem arises during compilation: gcc -c -g -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch -Winline -Wmissing-prototypes -Wsign-compare -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Demacs -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/dt/include -I/usr/openwin/include doprnt.c doprnt.c: In function `get_doprnt_args': doprnt.c:366: first argument to `va_arg' not of type `va_list' doprnt.c:372: first argument to `va_arg' not of type `va_list' doprnt.c:377: first argument to `va_arg' not of type `va_list' doprnt.c:380: first argument to `va_arg' not of type `va_list' doprnt.c:383: first argument to `va_arg' not of type `va_list' doprnt.c:385: first argument to `va_arg' not of type `va_list' doprnt.c: In function `emacs_doprnt_lisp_2': doprnt.c:746: first argument to `va_arg' not of type `va_list' doprnt.c: In function `emacs_doprnt_string_lisp_2': doprnt.c:837: first argument to `va_arg' not of type `va_list' gmake: *** [doprnt.o] Error 1 Looking over the gcc -E output seems to suggest that we now have a mixture of Solaris 8 va_list and GCC va_list definitions plus the Xemacs "hack". Removing the "hack" (via #if defined(KEEP_THIS_CODE) around the above mentioned code block), and "gmake clean ; gmake all" results in the output below (temacs problems) which as stated seems to not re-occur on a second invocation of "gmake all". "gmake check ; gmake install" succeed and Xemacs seems functional.
