It's hard to say what to do with some of these new symbols. Could you please clarify by answering the questions below? I cannot advance with fixing the Windows build until I understand what to do with them. . What is the semantics of the GNULIB_TEST_* macros? The comments say "Define to 1 when the gnulib module FOO should be tested.", but what does it mean "should be tested"? tested by whom and at what time? . Why is NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O needed? Which compilation uses this macro? . Why are PACKAGE and VERSION needed, and where are they used? TIA
