>Description:
Hi,
  I have a problem compiling gdb/libiberty using current cvs tree, but also using gdb-5.2.1. Actually, same occurs with newer versions of gcc, binutils etc. No surprise. The problem (which I've already seen by google search reported by other earlier) is still present and is:

gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/software/@sys/usr/include -I/software/@sys/usr/include/ncurses -I/software/@sys/usr/openssl/include -I. -I./../include  -W -Wall -Wtraditional -pedantic concat.c -o concat.o

>How-To-Repeat:
See above. I have Solaris 5.6, gcc-2.95.3, GNU ld/as from binutils 2.11.2.
