A lot of ports under 2.X suffer from a different definition of "sys_errlist" Most of the times the patches symply remove the offending line in the source. Is there any better way ? In stdio.h, there are a couple of macros, ANSI_SOURCE and POSIX_SOURCE if I remember well, which might solve the problem. Which one is better for this purpose ? Second: some ports (one example is freeWAIS, another cern_httpd) do not compile with bmake, they require gmake. Unfortunately, make is called recursively and the top level make requires bmake... again, is there a way to solve this without patching the makefiles ? Such as putting an option in the toplevel makefile to specify that gmake should be used for recursive calls...
