-On the Sun 386i, floating-point numbers are printed without a leading
-zero digit. This causes the cmp step to fail for the chem target. I
-revised the Makefile, and at the same time, inserted an RM macro in
-place of the many rm calls. The complete updated Makefile is appended
-below. This change should be applied to all systems to avoid the
-leading-zero problem in the future.
-
-On the Sun 386i, my initial "make sunos40" resulted in a load failure
-with
-
->> Undefined:
->> strncasecmp
->> strftime
-
-I therefore modified the Makefile to read
-
-OPTIMIZE= -g -O -fstrength-reduce -DSTRFTIME_MISSING -DSTRCASE_MISSING
-
-and loading got further, but still failed:
-
->> tzset: ld: /lib/libc.a(localtime.o): multiply defined
->> *** Error code 1
->> make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `gawk'
->> Current working directory /home/share/gnu/src/gawk-2.13
->> *** Error code 1
->> make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test'
-
-Investigation with nm showed that localtime() is only referenced by
-builtin.o, so I simply did
-
- chmod +x gawk
- make test bigtest
-
-and was able to complete the test after the leading-zero digit fix
-was applied to the Makefile.
-
-The Sun 386i is not receiving further development by Sun, and SunOS
-4.0.3 is the last O/S release for it, so perhaps you don't want to do
-anything other than note the problem in the README file.
