#65582: util-linux @2.38_1 does not build on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11, because

      Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
  Priority:  Normal      |  Milestone:
 Component:  ports       |    Version:  2.7.2
Resolution:              |   Keywords:  tiger
      Port:  util-linux  |

Comment (by ballapete):

 Building the port on the two different platforms shows quite a few
 differences already in the beginning. On Tiger `-D__DARWIN_UNIX03` is
 used, `configure` detects the functioning compiler switch `-Wformat-
 security` – cause can be that on Leopard the system's `/usr/bin/gcc-4.2`
 (version 4.2.1) gets used while on Tiger it's the augmented
 `/opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2` (version 4.2.4). Then the C header files
 are included in different order:

 }}}

 On Tiger the macro definition is observed as that of function – this seems
 to be the main cause. To determine this "change" I think the pre-compiled
 output would be useful…

 BTW, I added the line `configure.cflags-append -H` to `Portfile` in order
 to see which header file are included. The pre-compilation will be
 performed manually.
