Description Daniele Salvatore Albano 2009-08-02 16:29:52 UTC

Hi,

gzip complains, while compiling, about an existing function called futimens

Here is the output:
/home/daniele/Development/OPBXA/buildroot-git/build_i686/staging_dir//usr/include/sys/stat.h:370: error: conflicting types for 'futimens'
utimens.h:2: error: previous declaration of 'futimens' was here
mv -f .deps/open-safer.Tpo .deps/open-safer.Po
utimens.c: In function 'utimens':
utimens.c:188: warning: passing argument 2 of 'futimens' from incompatible pointer type
utimens.c:188: error: too many arguments to function 'futimens'
make[3]: *** [utimens.o] Error 1

On ubuntu launchpad i've discovered that newer glibc contains this function so it doesn't compile with newer glibc, here is the link to ubuntu launchpad.
