Re: warning: 'sbrk' is deprecated

[Jack Howarth <howarth dot mailing dot lists at gmail dot com>]

   The current gdb/configure doesn't seem to support passing
ac_cv_func_sbrk=no to configure as a mechanism to suppress the
deprecated use of sbrk() on darwin.

for ac_func in getrusage getuid getgid \
                pipe poll pread pread64 pwrite resize_term \
                sbrk setpgid setpgrp setsid \
                sigaction sigprocmask sigsetmask socketpair \
                ttrace wborder wresize setlocale iconvlist libiconvlist btowc \
                setrlimit getrlimit posix_madvise waitpid \
                ptrace64 sigaltstack mkdtemp
do :
  as_ac_var=`$as_echo "ac_cv_func_$ac_func" | $as_tr_sh`
ac_fn_c_check_func "$LINENO" "$ac_func" "$as_ac_var"
eval as_val=\$$as_ac_var
   if test "x$as_val" = x""yes; then :
  cat >>confdefs.h <<_ACEOF
#define `$as_echo "HAVE_$ac_func" | $as_tr_cpp` 1
_ACEOF

fi
done
