how about a 'snowleopardfixes' library port?

Hmmm. Making the dylib wasn't too hard:

clang -dynamiclib -std=gnu99 strnlen.c getline.c -current_version 1.0 -compatibility_version 1.0 -o libsnowleopardfixes.a.dylib

and setting it up seems equally straightforward:

sudo cp ./libsnowleopardfixes.a.dylib /opt/local/lib/libsnowleopardfixes.a.dylib
sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libsnowleopardfixes.a.dylib /opt/local/lib/libsnowleopardfixes.dylib

but something a bit odd happens during the configure phase of lnav. With the static library, it all went fine through to the build. But with the dyllib, all goes well and the dylib seems to be found (and basically ignored) until I get this funny error during the check when configure checks for "cross compiling"...

Open to your thoughts - perhaps configure needs libsnowleopardfixes to be a universal dylib to function during this phase?

Easy enough to try. I don't exactly know what configure is checking for during the cross-compile stage of testing....

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
