Subject: [Patch] Fix build problem with system call in compile/compile.c
Date: Tue, 06 Jan 2015 00:44:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c2ab3326-5227-43ff-a755-35cf75e209d8@BAMAIL02.ba.imgtec.org> (raw)

I am building gdb (and all of binutils) on ubuntu 12.04 with GCC 4.6.3.
During compilation the gdb build fails with:

/scratch/sellcey/repos/nightly_test/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/compile/compile.c:175:10: error: ignoring return value of 'system', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make[1]: *** [compile.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: Leaving directory `/scratch/sellcey/repos/nightly_test/obj-mips-img-linux-gnu/binutils-gdb/gdb'
make: *** [all-gdb] Error 2

I am not sure why other people aren't running into this but I would like to
apply this patch to fix the build problem.

OK to checkin?
