1 Important general notes
2 -----------------------
6 2016-09-05 progname There is now an alternate module 'getprogname'. It
7 defines a getprogname() function; use it to obtain
8 the name of the current program.
10 - In a program's main() function, and associated
11 usage() and help() functions, use 'progname'.
12 - In library code, or more generally any code that
13 is not near the main() function, use
16 2013-04-24 gettext If your project uses 'gettextize --intl' it is now
17 your responsibility to put -I$(top_builddir)/intl
18 into the Makefile.am for gnulib.
20 2012-06-27 elisp-comp The module 'elisp-comp' is removed; the script is
21 not independently useful outside of automake.
23 2012-06-21 gnulib-tool The option --with-tests is now implied by the
24 options --create-testdir, --test,
25 --create-megatestdir, --megatest.
27 2012-01-07 quotearg In the C locale, the function will no longer use
28 the grave accent character to begin a quoted
29 string (`like this'). It will use apostrophes
30 'like these' or, in Unicode locales, single quotes
31 ‘like these’. You may want to adjust any error
32 messages that hard code the quoting characters.
34 2010-09-04 gnulib-tool The option '--import' is no longer cumulative; it
35 now expects the complete list of modules and other
36 options on the command line. If you want to
37 augment (not set) the list of modules, use the
38 new option '--add-import' instead of '--import'.
40 User visible incompatible changes
41 ---------------------------------
45 2017-12-30 chdir-safer This module is removed. It was deprecated
48 2017-11-24 posixtm Previously, callers had to specify either
49 PDS_LEADING_YEAR or PDS_TRAILING_YEAR (but
50 not both). Now, callers should specify
51 only PDS_TRAILING_YEAR; leading years are
52 requested by not specifying PDS_TRAILING_YEAR.
54 2017-08-14 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to a nonzero
55 value instead of to 0, as the 'open' and
56 'openat' modules now emulate O_CLOEXEC.
58 2017-07-23 strftime This module is renamed to 'nstrftime'.
60 2017-05-19 closeout close_stdout longer closes stderr when addresses
61 are being sanitized, as the sanitizer outputs to
64 2017-02-16 binary-io On MS-DOS and OS/2, set_binary_mode now fails
65 on ttys, and sets errno == EINVAL.
67 2017-01-20 parse-datetime The parse_datetime2 function now takes two
68 more arguments TZ and TZSTRING, for the
69 time zone and its name.
71 2017-01-16 host-cpu-c-abi On ARM platforms, HOST_CPU_C_ABI is now set to
72 'arm' or 'armhf' instead of 'armel'.
74 2017-01-15 localeinfo Change case_folded_counterparts's first arg's type
75 from wchar_t to wint_t, so it now accepts WEOF.
77 2016-12-17 getlogin The link requirements of these modules are changed
78 getlogin_r from empty to $(LIB_GETLOGIN).
80 2016-12-13 dfa Remove DFA_CASE_FOLD flag. Now based on RE_ICASE.
82 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmblen The function u32_strmblen can now return -1.
83 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmbtouc The function u32_strmbtouc can now return -1.
85 2016-08-17 stdbool This no longer supports _Bool for C++.
86 Programs intended to be portable to C++
87 compilers should use plain 'bool' instead.
89 2016-04-12 intprops The following macros were removed:
90 TYPE_TWOS_COMPLEMENT TYPE_ONES_COMPLEMENT
93 2015-09-25 c-ctype The following macros were removed:
94 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_DIGITS
95 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_LOWERCASE
96 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_UPPERCASE
98 2015-09-22 savewd SAVEWD_CHDIR_READABLE constant removed.
100 2015-07-24 fprintftime Exported functions' time zone arguments are now of
101 strftime type timezone_t (with NULL denoting UTC) instead of
102 type int (with nonzero denoting UTC). These
103 modules now depend on time_rz.
105 2015-04-24 acl This module no longer defines file_has_acl.
106 Use the new file-has-acl module for that.
107 Using only the latter module makes for fewer
108 link-time dependencies on GNU/Linux.
110 2015-04-15 acl If your project only uses the file_has_acl()
111 detection routine, then the requirements are
112 potentially reduced by using $LIB_HAS_ACL rather
115 2015-04-03 hash hash_insert0 function removed (deprecated in 2011).
117 2014-10-29 obstack The obstack functions are no longer limited to
118 int sizes; size values are now of type size_t.
119 This changes both the ABI and the API.
120 obstack_blank no longer accepts a negative size to
121 shrink the current object; callers must now use
122 obstack_blank_fast with a "negative" (actually,
123 large positive) size for that.
125 2014-02-23 diffseq The members too_expensive, lo_minimal and hi_minimal
126 were removed from public structures, and the
127 find_minimal argument was removed from diag
130 2014-02-11 savedir The savedir and streamsavedir functions have a
131 new argument specifying how to sort the result.
132 The fdsavedir function is removed.
134 2013-05-04 gnulib-tool CVS checkout of gnulib are no longer supported.
136 2013-02-08 careadlinkat This module no longer provides the careadlinkatcwd
139 2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
140 processing is resettable. If your code uses
141 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
142 only one pass over the argument array.
144 2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
145 Use STREQ_OPT instead.
147 2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
148 function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
149 so briefly before then that it never came into use.
150 Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
152 2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
153 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
154 named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
156 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
157 function. If you need this function, you now need
158 to request the 'mkdirat' module.
160 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
161 function. If you need this function, you now need
162 to request the 'fstatat' module.
164 2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
165 function. If you need this function, you now need
166 to request the 'unlinkat' module.
168 2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
169 function. If you need this function, you now need
170 to request the 'fchmodat' module.
172 2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
173 Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
175 2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
176 function. If you need this function, you now need
177 to request the 'fchownat' module.
179 2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
180 from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
182 2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
183 function. If you need this function, you now need
184 to request the 'fstat' module.
186 2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
188 2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
189 from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
191 2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
192 opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
193 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
194 If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
195 If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
197 2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
198 PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
199 listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
200 portable to GNU/Hurd.
202 2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
203 If your code creates a socket descriptor using
204 socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
205 to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
206 stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
208 2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
209 c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
210 link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
211 unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
212 warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
214 2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
215 verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
217 2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
218 is now set to "no", not to ":".
220 2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
223 2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
224 on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
226 2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
227 a new 'xgetgroups' module.
229 2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
230 default; to retain robust handling of directories
231 with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
232 must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
234 2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
237 2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
238 but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
239 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
241 2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
242 dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
243 backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
244 lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
245 openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
246 remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
247 rmdir header dosname.h.
252 2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
253 HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
254 to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
255 longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
256 (which should have been internal to the module
257 anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
258 removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
259 GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
260 KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
263 2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
264 module no longer guarantees that the following are
265 defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
266 srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
268 2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
269 function. If you need this function, you now need
270 to request the 'iswblank' module.
272 2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
274 2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
275 instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
277 2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
278 file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
280 2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new
281 parse-datetime module for the replacement
282 function parse_datetime(), or help us write
283 getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
284 "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
285 and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
287 2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid()
288 function. If you need this function, you now need
289 to request the 'waitpid' module.
291 2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
292 signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers
293 of gl_futimens should change function name, and
294 callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order.
296 2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes
297 first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new
298 atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code
299 should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag.
301 2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for
302 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of
303 regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program
304 is being configured --with-included-regex. This
305 may change again in the future once glibc provides
306 this feature as well.
308 2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated.
310 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
311 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
312 Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC".
314 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
315 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
317 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
318 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
320 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
321 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
323 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
324 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
327 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
328 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
330 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
331 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
334 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
335 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
336 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
337 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
339 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
340 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
341 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
342 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
345 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
346 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
347 get the functions that were previously provided.
349 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
350 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
352 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
353 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
354 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
357 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
358 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
359 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
362 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
363 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
364 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
367 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
368 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
369 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
371 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
372 must contain an explicit dependency on
375 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
376 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
377 effect except on very old platforms.
379 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
380 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
382 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
384 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
387 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
390 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
391 $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
393 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
394 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
397 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
398 rather than only defined to 1.
400 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
401 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
402 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
403 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
404 include <unistd.h>. For all other
405 functions provided by this module,
406 continue to include "openat.h".
408 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
409 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
412 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
413 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
415 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
416 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
417 "long options" and "options with optional
418 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
420 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
423 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
424 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
425 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
426 The calling convention of the functions
427 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
429 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
430 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
431 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
432 The calling convention of the functions
433 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
435 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
436 The maint.mk file was copied from
437 coreutils, and the old
438 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
439 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
440 this will add several new checks. If some
441 new check is annoying, add the name of the
442 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
445 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
447 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
449 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
451 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
453 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
454 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
455 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
458 val = c_strtod (...);
459 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
462 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
463 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
465 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
466 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
468 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
469 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
470 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
471 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
472 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
473 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
475 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
478 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
481 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
484 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
486 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
488 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
491 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
494 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
497 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
500 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
503 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
506 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
507 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
508 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
509 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
510 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
512 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
513 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
514 socket descriptors are now compatible with
515 file descriptors. In general, this change
516 will simply improve your code's portability
517 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
518 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
519 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
520 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
521 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
522 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
524 This change does not remove the need to call
525 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
526 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
527 when you include the sys_socket module; while
528 the functionality will be restored soon, for
529 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
530 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
532 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
534 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
535 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
536 equivalent function, use function
537 xconcatenated_filename from module
540 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
541 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
542 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
543 You may need to create a symbolic link for
544 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
545 installed in $prefix/lib.
547 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
550 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
551 to "glthread/lock.h".
552 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
555 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
556 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
557 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
559 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
560 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
561 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
562 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
564 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
565 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
566 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
567 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
569 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
570 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
571 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:

584 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
586 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
587 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
588 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
589 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
591 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
592 implementations; clients that use controlled
593 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
594 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
595 module instead for smaller code size.
597 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
598 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
599 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
600 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
601 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
603 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
604 implementations; clients that use controlled
605 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
606 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
607 module instead for smaller code size.
609 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
610 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
611 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'

617 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
620 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
621 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
622 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
623 module description for the applicable license.
625 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
626 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
627 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
629 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
630 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
631 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
634 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
635 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
636 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
638 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
640 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
641 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
643 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
644 error to standard error; that is now the
645 caller's responsibility. It returns an
646 error code of type enum strtol_error
647 instead of the integer option value, and stores
648 the option value via a new int * argument.
649 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
650 are now an option name and option argument
651 instead of an option argument and a type string,
652 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
654 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
656 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
657 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
659 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
662 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.

668 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
669 was renamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
673 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
674 was renamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
679 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
680 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
681 that has a different signature.
683 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
684 #include "sigprocmask.h"
688 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
689 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
690 'long double' as a type exists.
