In a sense, they already are.  :-)

BTW, I just checked one of our DU boxes --- it doesn't have those declarations
in stdio.h.  WHat version of DU are you running?

It's just a shell script which records what I did to get it to build manually.
The idea is to be able to build something for a new system type quickly.
(It also encodes how to deal with an oddity of AFS sites:  we "install" to
a staging area in AFS and then install onto individual systems by creating
symlinks to the staging area.)

Here's the buildscript for gettext; I doubt you'll find it very useful,
unfortunately.  (You *will* want to remove the AFS stuff; even if you use
AFS you probably have other ways to deal with it --- most folks use depot, but
several people here in ECE don't like it.)
