Subject: egcs and no main() function
List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/2149
Message-Id: <199904210017.QAA08110@Excalibur.Camelot>

>Description:
	Binaries produced by egcs where the source code neglected to define
	main() do not run on my system.
>How-To-Repeat:
	CXX=egcs CC=egcs ./configure; make
>Fix:
	Add "void main() { }" to configure's generated test programs (i.e.,
	the program for testing the availability of ANSI C headers).
