coreutils-8.27 fails to build |

coreutils-8.27 fails to build.
function renameat, found in src/force-link.c, is not found on my
system, which is an iBook G4 running OSX 10.5.8.
Therefore the link step fails, citing the linker cannot find _renameat.
I see there is a similar function in lib/at-func2.c which could be
used, but I chose to solve this problem in the simplest way possible
by defining renameat in src/force-link.c like so:
diff src/force-link.c src/force-link.c.OEM
86,93d85
< /* see: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rename&sektion=2 */
< static int
< renameat(int fromfd,const char *from,int tofd,const char *to)
< {
< return rename(from,to);
< }
<
<
Perhaps there is a better solution?
Such as using at_func2 in src/force-link.c like so:
static int
renameat(int fromfd,const char *from,int tofd,const char *to)
{
return at_func2(fromfd,from,tofd,to,rename);
}
????????????????
BTW, I had only one test FAIL in "make check": tests/misc/sort-debug-
keys
Is this related to the above?
If you would like further assistance on this matter, just let me know
how I could help.
Thanks,
J Rogowsky

Right. I had provided a tarball generated with the bootstrap.conf change
for the original reporter at:
https://www.pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-8.27.4-3c9d7.tar.xz
which you might find useful for comparison.
J has reported the build now works with the above change in effect,
so I've pushed and I'm marking this as done.
cheers,
