             Bug #: 56703
           Summary: problems with strsignal and maybe strstr due to
                    varying const on return type
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: bootstrap
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: jay.krell@cornell.edu


The autoconf checks for strsignal and maybe strstr are overly strict or wrong
and fail due to varying const on the return.


gcc 4.8.0

Both the strstr and strsignal declarations in system.h have autoconf #if's
around them.
One wonders why they evaluate to true.

so the checks for strstr and strsignal are too strict.

How about more like:

const char* a = strsignal(1);

on the matter of conflicting declarations:
conftest.c:77:6: warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'ldexp'

 char ldexp ();


 conftest.c:109:6: warning: conflicting types for built-in function

more for *_unlocked, fork but I guess all that is ok..

I'm confused about strstr.
strsignal is definitely a problem, due to const mismatch on the return type.
