In the test labeled
AC_MSG_CHECKING(linker read-only and read-write section mixing)
gcc/configure.in in 3.3 uses "grep -A1". This feature is not in Solaris's
grep. It's not in the HP-UX grep either.
The result is that the configure output looks like
checking linker read-only and read-write section mixing... grep: illegal option -- A
grep: illegal option -- 1
Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .
on Solaris 2.8. The failure appears harmless, but I'm not sure.

I filled PR target/10663 for it.

I think it is.

There is another non-portable feature in that exact same test.
I sent a patch for it a few weeks ago, if someone would like to review that
at the same time.

--- forward ----
Cygwin is not completing the "linker read-only and
read-write section mixing" configure test. It aborts with:
conftest1.s: Assembler messages:
conftest1.s:1: Warning: rest of line ignored; first ignored
character is `"'
It seems that Cygwin's "as" doesn't like double-quotes
surrounding it's section names. This in itself may or may
not be a bug, but it that is not what this particular
conftest is testing. Regardless, from what I can gather
from the gas docs not having the quotes should be OK on all
targets.

Does the attached patch cure it? The construct works on the 5 Solaris
versions I have access to, but I can't directly test the configure check
because it dies earlier with the native Sun tools.

That looks like a sensible way to do it.

Suggest '/myfoosect/{; N; p; }'

Yes, the '.*' are clearly superfluous. But the ';' as separator doesn't work
with Solaris sed so I resorted to what the Solaris manual says (and which
works with GNU sed too).
I've already posted a patch, not yet reviewed:

Odd, ; as separator works fine for me with /usr/bin/sed on Solaris 8.
However, this is tangential.

I'll approve that patch.

Hum, you're right, your construct works on Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6 and 9 too.
I probably messed up the expression within the curly brackets.

You might've left off the semicolon immediately after the opening
curly brace, which is counterintuitive but necessary.
