Following the 'hints' in the glibc documentation, I tried rebuilding
gcc after installing glibc 2.1.92. This failed during the compilation
of indstream.cc.
This contains methods which return a value of streampos. This is
typedef'd to either _IO_fpos64_t or _IO_fpos_t (depending on 64 bit
file offsets). This is further defined to map to _G_fpos64_t or
_G_fpos_t. Under glibc 2.1.3, these were defined (via other #defines
and typdefs) as integer types. With glibc 2.1.92, the _G_fpos type is
defined as a structure - which causes the compilation to fail.
Is gcc 2.95.2 supposed to be able to compiled with glibc 2.1.92, or
is a gcc 2.96 snapshot necessary?
