Bogus putenv?


Hi,

newlib's stdlib.h declares
int putenv( const char* );

According to SUSv3, Linux and Solaris, this should be (without const)
int putenv( char* );

FreeBSD, however has the same declaration as newlib (with const).

At least I am in favor of following SUSv3 and to ignore BSD's behaviour,
i.e. I vote for changing newlib's putenv to match with SUSv3.

Ralf
