>Description:
Building gdb-6.6 with the Sun C compiler generates the following error:
cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.././bfd -I. -I. -I.././bfd -I.././bfd/../include -mr -Qn -xstrconst -xO2 -xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v8plusa -c elf.c -o elf.o
"elf.c", line 827: non-constant initializer: op "?"
"elf.c", line 830: non-constant initializer: op "?"
"elf.c", line 835: non-constant initializer: op "?"
...
C89 does not allow a non-constant initializer. Does gdb-6.6 now require a C99 compiler to build?
