[PATCH] [5.12] Allow build on aix 4.2 (sigaction and IPv6)
Based on a patch by AUGUSTE-ETIENNE José <jose.auguste-etienne@cgss-guyane.fr> The attached patches are necessary to work around aix 4.2 lack of support for IPv6, and limited support for POSIX sigaction() The hints/aix_4.sh patch solves the following build failure: "Socket.xs", line 468.16: 1506-007 (S) "struct in6_addr" is undefined. The ext/POSIX/t/sigaction.t patch solves the failing test reported a looong time ago: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2006-01/msg01124.html After testing a simple C program using POSIX sigaction() with SA_SIGINFO, I found that it worked on aix 4.3 but failed on aix 4.2. I think it's safe to skip the SA_SIGINFO test on the aix 4.2 platform. perl 5.12.0 builds fine on the following platforms / C compiler : aix 4.2.1 / vac 5.0.2.7 (with attached patches) aix 4.3.2 / gcc 2.95.3 aix 4.3.3 / vac 4.4.0.3 aix 4.3.3 / vac 5.0.28 aix 5.2 / GNUpro gcc 2.9.aix51.020209 The atatched patches should be applied to blead and maint.
