RE: Using the new cross compilation system - and a request for help

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Alexander,

Oops.  For some reason, when you send attachments Outlook does not show the
attachment icon in the message list, but it does show the attachment in the
message itself.  I don't always remember to look at the attachment icon in
the message viewer, so I didn't notice that you had attached a patch to this
email.

I'll take a look at it now.

For others: this probably answers my questions about what Alexander did to
fix the compilation of imake.c that was broken by glibc_major and
glibc_minor not being defined.

Harold
