Robert, I could not reproduce your error above *on Linux host* when I
built libc tests from latest CVS sources for my arm7tdmi target using my
1) CFLAGS variant and 2) yours too. I used arm-eabi toolchain from
eCos-3.0 box too.

Just to comparison, CFLAGS for my arm7tdmi CPU are

default_value { CYGBLD_GLOBAL_WARNFLAGS . CYGBLD_ARCH_CFLAGS . "-mcpu=arm7tdmi -g -O2 -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions" }

As you can see I even not expanded in-line limit.

I'm sorry, but, I have no chance to test your issue using toolchain for
cygwin hosts.

I see.

As epk == tar.gz you would extract pkadd.db file from the archive,
rename it (e.g. to mypack.inc) and "add it" then at the end *the
original ecos.db*, as

  source [file join $env(ECOS_REPOSITORY) mypack.inc]

So, a diff will be 1 line only. That saves original formatting your eCos
database file. The formatting changes itself when you use CT GUI or use
ecosadmin.tcl script to add/remove eCos packages.

Yep, strnlen() and the companion tests were added in 2010, see

  language/c/libc/string/current/ChangeLog

But, as I said I could not reproduce your issue on Linux host. And one
more thing: what a template did you use when you try to build the tests
from CVS?
