This is non-standard behavior at the C language level. I would look at the two header-file mentioned above to see if some feature-test C macros could be defined that would result in the appropriate behavior. You could then define these macros in the CPPFLAGS environment variable and start over (remember to do a "make distclean"). Failing that, you'll have to modify the code -- adding an appropriate prototype for getenv() and a definition for ptrdiff_t. Regards, Steve Emmerson
