Follow-up Comment #172, bug #54235 (project octave):
The work-around for uname might actually break POSIX conform systems. From the
specs [1]:
"Upon successful completion, a non-negative value shall be returned.
Otherwise, -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error."
So err>0 should indicate success and not an error.
The Solaris docs contain the same sentence [2]. So if this is working
differently on Solaris, it is a bug and it should probably be fixed in
gnulib.
Maybe we should also adapt our octave_uname_wrapper where we compare "err ==
0" instead of "err >= 0" for success. (Is this the "real" bug?)
