matches mksh pre-R29 (the one introducing the bug), and typeset matches
the behaviour intended with the R29 changes (better AT&T ksh93 compati-
bility) but never reached
• adjust the man page description of “typeset -p”, as it’s different from
the “typeset” and “typeset -” actions
• apply diff from mirbsdksh-1.11:
#ifdef DUP2_BROKEN
/* Ultrix systems like to preserve the close-on-exec flag */
‣ XXX we do #ifdef __ultrix here (imake-style) instead of mirtoconfing it
(but does anyone know of any other OS with the same problem? plus we’d
see it as we now know the symptoms)
• remove ultrix Build.hs warn=' but might work…' in the hope it DOES
• split Xinit into XinitN and Xinit macro, the former
not initialising the “xp” argument of the latter,
and use this to get rid of two variables that are
only assigned but never referenced (gcc doesn’t see
this, but MIPSpro and IIRC SUNWcc do)
• re-indent while here
• bump patchlevel
• detecting a lot more compilers (stolen from CMake, admittedly, as they
were the first coming up at G**gle with usable #ifdefs)
• handling MIPSpro
• more system info on IRIX
‣ I/O redirection seems broken:
$ (date; date >/dev/null; date) | wc -l
1 (expected: 2)
‣ other than that: working fine
‣ -YBSD (default) and -YSYSTEM_FIVE don’t work, just -YPOSIX, somehow
• Fix $(…) to `…` for OSF/1 V2.0 /bin/sh
‣ this compiler is FUBAR though:
$ cat >t.c
main() { return (foo()); }
$ cc t.c
ld:
Unresolved :
foo
$ echo $?
0
$ ls -l a.out
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mirbsd users 10835 Jul 21 17:12 a.out
‣ it seems to have ucode, but man is not installed
• new mirtoconf check: mkstemp(3)
• if !HAVE_MKSTEMP (Ultrix), use tempnam(3)
• only use printf(1) if it exists (it doesn’t on Ultrix)
• a few more signals
• add S_ISLNK if the OS doesn’t define it
• add strcasecmp(3) proto for Ultrix (it _is_ in <portability.h>, but
only for -YBSD I think)
• fgrep(1) on Ultrix doesn’t do “-e ① -e ②”
10x DEChengst:#UnixNL for giving access

and
| /usr/mpkg/bin/pgrphack /usr/mpkg/bin/svscanboot &
can now be replaced with
| /bin/mksh -T- /usr/mpkg/bin/svscanboot
it can’t do -Werror, that’s why it mis-detects attribute support.
ignore the warnings (unused variables, uninitialised values, control flow)
as I checked them and they are not valid. gcc 1.42 (BSDi modified) compiles
a very fine mksh

• the platform’s sig_t is incompatible too (simplify check)
• no compile warnings at all
• results in:

• minor testsuite issues:
FAIL ./check.t:regression-13
unexpected stderr - got too much output
wanted nothing
got:
Successful
cat: output error
⇒ probably harmless
• works like a charm!
• DEC C on OSF/1 (10x Jupp the IceWM coffee pot maintainer)
• other stuff which doesn’t nuke a.out on failure
XXX this must be tested on *ALL* supported platforms!
