9 Compiling with __STDC__=0

Contents of this section

DO NOT make these changes unless you have gcc configured with STDC_VALUE=0. You can test for this by compiling this small program. If it prints out STDC_VALUE=1 do not make these changes. If it prints out STDC_VALUE=0 then you will have to make the following changes. 

    main() { printf("STDC_VALUE=%d\n", __STDC__); }
So now you have a gcc compiled with STDC_VALUE=0 which cannot be recompiled with a STDC_VALUE=1. To compile XFree86 with this compiler you will have to edit mit/config/x386.cf. Look for the pattern GCC_STDC_VALUE and replace the 1 by a 0. For example the line 
    #define GCC_STDC_VALUE 1
should become, 
    #define GCC_STDC_VALUE 0
It is recommended to use gcc compiled without the STDC_VALUE=0 for building XFree86. It is, however, possible with the above changes. These changes may become obsolete or invalid in a later version of XFree86.
