RE: alphasort on HP-NonStop

[Joachim Schmitz]

You mean add alphasort to gllib/dirent.in.h?

We don't have an alphasort elsewhere
And yes, we're quite a bit behind the current POSIX...

Gnulib has an 'alphasort' module that provides a replacement when the function 
is missing. The error message here makes me think that the function exists on 
your system but its declaration is missing.

Can you add the declaration to <dirent.h>?
