Re: gas configure cleanup


Hi Daniel,

I presume that the missing arguments are mostly to handle void * vs
char *; this is a pretty widespread difference of opinion.  The set
missing arguments in bfd/sysdep.h all look likely to be conflicted on
some platform.

I may be confused here, but I thought that we were talking about providing prototypes for these system functions in the situation where we cannot find definitions for them in a known system header files. So presumably in those situations it will not matter if the prototype that we choose to supply does not match the actual system prototype since the actual system header files will never be included. (Of course it would matter if the APIs of these functions differed between the prototype we choose and the real system prototype, but I am assuming that "void *" vs "char *" conflicts do not matter as far as the APIs are concerned).


Cheers
  Nick
