A bug, I think, in the process of compiling Guile 3.0.2 on NetBSD 9

[Jay Sulzberger <jays@panix.com>]

There is an old bug report at

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guile/2016-07/msg00038.html

I believe I ran into this same bug on my way to compiling Guile-3.0.2 on NetBSD 9.

After my signature is the report, as rendered by lynx.

Heaven forwarding I will submit a proper bug report within a few
weeks, after I learn more about the build process of Guile-3.0.2.  But
I ask here: Has this bug been fixed in either Guile-3.0.2 and/or
NetBSD 9?

Thank you for reading this!

And thank you for Guile!

I remain, as ever, your old beGuiled user^W^WLisper,
Jay Sulzberger

  Hi!

  On NetBSD, the build of guile-2.0.12 breaks early because
  FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER is not defined:

  In file included from strftime.c:33:0:
  time-internal.h:48:14: error: 'FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER' undeclared here (not in a
  function)
     char abbrs[FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER];
                ^

  config.h has:

  /* #undef FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER */

  I think the problem is that m4/gnulib-comp.m4 has:

    if test "$HAVE_TIMEZONE_T" = 0; then
      func_gl_gnulib_m4code_flexmember
    fi

  but on NetBSD, HAVE_TIMEZONE_T is 1 and so
  func_gl_gnulib_m4code_flexmember is not called and
  FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER is not defined.

  FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER is used in time-internal.h which is included by:

  lib/time_rz.c lib/timegm.c lib/strftime.c lib/mktime.c

  so there might be more cases where this will break.

  Cheers,
   Thomas
