[Mono-devel-list] mcs build fails on cygwin

[Jonathan Pryor]

Could someone sacrifice a chicken over this?  Seriously?

It was originally broken because Solaris doesn't have getfsent(3) (which
Linux and *BSD do; odd), but it has a getvfsent(3C) which can be used to
implement my own getfsent(), so I did that and all was merry.

Except for one last detail.  Please see the log here:

	http://mono.ximian.com:8008/sparc-head-mono/events/238/log

libMonoPosixHelper fails to link because the linker can't find
getdomainname and setdomainname.  "OK," says I, "I'll add a configure
check for it."  Except that doesn't work.

On line 228, we have:

	checking for getdomainname... yes
	checking for setdomainname... yes

Yet on line 4731:

	Undefined			first referenced
	 symbol  			    in file
	getdomainname                       unistd.lo
	setdomainname                       unistd.lo
	ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written
		to .libs/libMonoPosixHelper.so.0.1.0

So, the function exists, but I can't link against it?  WTF?

All I can guess is that the configure test program is linking against
some library that libMonoPosixHelper.so isn't linking against.  What the
library is, I don't know, and I don't have a sparc machine I can easily
debug this on.

Is there an exorcist around?  This is the last thing holding back a
clean mono compile on sparc, so it would be nice to figure this out.

Thanks,
 - Jon
