lyndon> The correct fix for sys_errlist declarations is:
lyndon> #include <sys/param.h> #if (!defined(BSD) || (BSD <
lyndon> 199306) /* define sys_errlist as appropriate for your
lyndon> system */ #endif
So, <sys/param.h> is present on all systems that have a C compiler
or just systems with compilers that define the 'unix' macro, or just
BSD derived systems?
Does one need
#if defined __FreeBSD__ || defined __listOfOthersKnownToHaveParam_ ..
#include <sys/param.h>
/* tests for various flavors of BSD go here */
#endif
Offhand, it looks like the OS dependent feature is hidden in an OS
dependent file. It seems to me that the compiler ought to emit the
root feature list in some standard way so that codes can have some
predictable behaviour.
