a couple of minor problems in gcc builds
There are a couple of minor issues in our gcc builds (both Linux and
Solaris). AFAICT, neither of them appears to be causing any build
failures but they seem more than cosmetic.
First, we appear to be using the wrong option(s) in the build_stdcxx
script:
-- Setting up Solaris GNU binutils 2.17 --uname: illegal option -- o
usage: uname [-snrvmapiX]
uname [-S system_name]
./build_stdcxx: line 22: ((: Cygwin == : syntax error: operand expected
(error token is " ")
Second, we get the error below from the first invocation of make:
### gmake builddir BUILDMODE=pthreads,shared,optimized, CONFIG=gcc.config
/bin/sh: cho: command not found
rm: cannot remove `/tmp/longsize': Operation not permitted
I suspect the second problem is fallout from my change 523520 (see
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=523520) and I plan
to work on fixing it.
I'm not sure what's behind the first one. Andrew, can you take a look
at it when you have a chance?

Okay.
As for options and standard utilities, it's good to assume no more than
UNIX95 unless you know you're on a more capable system (such as UNIX98
AKA SUSV2, or SUSV3). You can use the getconf command to portably
determine which version of POSIX a system implements (via getconf
_POSIX_VERSION).

The first artifact is in the build_stdcxx script. It's the conditional
that's being used to determine if we're building with cygwin or not. I
need to do some more work in this area anyways, so that we can get
cygwin builds working.

FYI: This change should fix the problem above (gcc builds
from last night appear to confirm it):
