coreutils-8.13.29-43a9 on Solaris 7

[Bruno Haible]

On Solaris 7/SPARC with cc: Build failure.

  CC       stat.o
"stat.c", line 623: invalid type combination
cc: acomp failed for stat.c
*** Error code 2

It's a declaration-after-statement problem: Inserting an opening
brace in line 623 and a closing brace at the end of the function fixes
the problem.

This compiler has not complained about the other declaration-after-statement
occurrences (in fts.c, earlier in stat.c, and other source files), just about
this one.


Other than that, "make" works fine, and "make check" sees 2 failing tests:

1)
tty-eof: this script requires Perl's Expect package >=1.11
FAIL: misc/tty-eof

The error message sounds as if that should be a SKIP, not a FAIL, no?

$ perl --version

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for sun4-solaris-thread-multi

2)
FAIL: mv/i-3

The test-suite.log says:

FAIL: mv/i-3 (exit: 1)
======================

cat: out: No such file or directory
kill: 1000: no such process

This one is hard to debug:
$ gmake check TESTS=mv/i-3
fails
but
$ gmake check TESTS=mv/i-3 VERBOSE=yes
succeeds!
