Well, it's probably not even the Perl people - perl's config_h.SH seems to
do the right thing and put a space between the second / and *, so that the
compiler won't complain, so it could be ActiveState's doing. Maybe I'll just
make a tiny script to fix config.h in my perl distro.
There is a more serious problem, though, in these warnings. Perl is
apparently trying to hijack the *printf functions, just as libintl tries to
do. There's a #define we can set to inhibit that, and I think we should.
That would leave 2 lots of warnings to fix - one about uid_t/gid_t and one
about isnan.
cheers
