This is a bug report for perl from wyant@​cpan.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.

The 'make' step for Perl 5.10.0 DEVEL32174 fails to compile util.c
under Mac OS X 10.3.9 with the following error​:

`sh cflags "optimize='-Os'" util.o` util.c

make​: *** [util.o] Error 1

The problem is that the various OSByteOrder.h files define (by default)
inline functions, which are disallowed both by -ansi and -std=c89. The
workaround is to compile without -ansi, and either without the -std
option, or with -std=c99.

pp_sys.c fails in the same way, because it (eventually) includes the same
header.

This may be a duplicate - I tried to send a report on this on October 19,
(on DEVEL32147) but I could never find it in rt.perl.org/perlbug, meaning
either that I didn't send it correctly or didn't look it up correctly.

I do not know what the favored response is. A look at the Changes file
says that you dropped these two options under Cygwin, but it was not
immediately obvious to me how to make this happen under Mac OS X.

Note that this is _NOT_ the current Mac OS X by any means; the current is
10.4.10, and is about to be 10.5. The output of 'uname -a' is appended
for your edification and/or amusement. Thanks.

[ etc. ]

The problem is that the various OSByteOrder.h files define (by default)
inline functions, which are disallowed both by -ansi and -std=c89. The
workaround is to compile without -ansi, and either without the -std
option, or with -std=c99.

Good analysis. The -std=c89 and -ansi flags are added by cflags.SH after
Configure time. cflags.SH builds a "representative" C file that #includes
"perl.h" and a whole bunch of system files, and checks if it can be
compiled with the flags -std=c89 and -ansi (among others).

That "representative" file already tries to include <sys/select.h>, but
because of a typo, it doesn't.

This patch fixes a series of similar typos. It ought to fix it up​:

Confirmed. With 32181, 'make' runs without intervention, and 'make test'
without error. Thank you very much.
