[comp.soft-sys.andrew] problems with sys_errlist on DS5000/200

G.Michaelson@cc.uq.oz.au (05/08/91)

	Ultrix 4.1 on Decstation 5000/200

	using config/pmax_3 kludged into a config/pmax_4
	with changes to Imake.tmpl and all the other cited
	places in README.

Trying to bootstrap andrew from the X11R4 source release version,
with bugfixes. X is at patch 18.

atk/basics/common/region.do complains that sys_errlist is undefined.

in Ultrix 4.1 /lib/libc.a there is a static for this object, but in
the libc_G0 there are only "U" references.

there doesn't appear to be an instance in any of the (so far) created
libs under andrew/lib. Man pages say its a char *sys_errlist[] which is
the array of errormessages errno indexes into. -tempted to make some
garbage out of the qotd database,stuff into a Cprog and see what happens...

Any help greatfully received.
