Building 2a14 from CVS (linux/i386, egcs 1.1.1, glibc 2.0.106),
the build failed with...
gcc -g -O2 -DHYPERTEST -o htestrdmsg mbox2hypermail.c
mbox2hypermail.c:33: macro `strcpy' used without args
make[1]: *** [htestrdmsg] Error 1
The problem is that glibc 2.0.106 (and likely 2.1) defines
strcpy as a macro through string.h, and the prototype is
expanded.
Commenting out the prototype fixed the problem in my case.
Could someone more knowledgeable suggest a more
elegant solution?
Thanks,
Michael
