Okay, here're the patches to add snprintf and vsnprintf to the list of
functions whose declarations are checked at configure time. Comments?
libiberty/ChangeLog:
2005-05-12 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
* configure.ac: Add snprintf and vsnprintf to AC_CHEK_DECLS.
include/ChangeLog:
2005-05-12 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
* libiberty.h (snprintf) [!HAVE_DECL_SNPRINTF]: Add a prototype.
(vsnprintf) [!HAVE_DECL_VSNPRINTF]: Add a prototype.
