To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Subject: Suggestion: improve cross-compiling ability Date: Mon, 08 Jul 2013 16:07:12 +0400 Message-id: <000901ce7bd3$ae02fb70$0a08f250$%fedin@samsung.com> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Hello! I have got one small idea on how to improve compatibility with cross-compiling Linux software. This time it's glibc. At certain point glibc's rpcgen program (which is being compiled for host), relies on '#ifndef __u_char_defined' and '#ifndef __daddr_t_defined' in order to determine presence of 'u_char' and 'daddr_t' respectively (see libc/sunrpc/rpc/types.h). I have to patch this to add _BSDTYPES_DEFINED check in order to be able to cross-build glibc under Cygwin. What if we add also these Linux-style definitions to our includes ? P.S. I understand that actually it's glibc needs fixing because the same will happen on any other non-Linux OS. But i believe FSF will simply say "we don't care" and won't accept this fix.
