Description Marc Wäckerlin 2005-11-28 09:07:50 UTC 
The declarations in libiberty.h do not match the declarations from glibc:

/usr/include/libiberty.h:98: error: declaration of ‘char* basename(const char*)’
throws different exceptions
/usr/include/string.h:387: error: than previous declaration ‘char*
basename(const char*) throw ()’
/usr/include/libiberty.h:523: error: declaration of ‘int asprintf(char**, const
char*, ...)’ throws different exceptions
/usr/include/stdio.h:374: error: than previous declaration ‘int asprintf(char**,
const char*, ...) throw ()’
/usr/include/libiberty.h:530: error: declaration of ‘int vasprintf(char**, const
char*, char*)’ throws different exceptions
/usr/include/stdio.h:368: error: than previous declaration ‘int
vasprintf(char**, const char*, char*) throw ()’

Comment 1 H.J. Lu 2005-12-06 01:15:04 UTC 
When you include /usr/include/libiberty.h, you should define proper macros,
like HAVE_DECL_BASENAME, HAVE_DECL_ASPRINTF, .., to avoid this.
