>Release:        1.2.5
>Environment:
Using A/UX 3.0.1, gcc, A/UX libraries (not Gnu's)
>Description:
The Spencer regex library must be explicitly
called in by the Configuration file.  The installation
instructions said to file a bug report if this is
required.

The A/UX libraries do not supply strerror, so
-DNEED_STRERROR must be added to the
EXTRA_CFLAGS list in the Configuration file.
This doesn't seem to be documented.

The A/UX libraries do not supply memmove, so
the macro used for AIX must be used.  Ideally,
a NEED_MEMMOVE macro should be added as
for strerror, but this is not currently the case.

It would be nice if there were a list of all of the
-D tweaks that are implemented, with brief
descriptions of what they do.
>How-To-Repeat:
Follow the installation instructions to build on
A/UX 3.0.1 with gcc installed.
>Fix:
See the full description above
