The patch for NonStop to make this compile is as follows. Test is running - will be 2 days:
diff --git a/config.mak.uname b/config.mak.uname
index a3a779327f..9b3e9bff5f 100644
--- a/config.mak.uname
+++ b/config.mak.uname

NO_SETENV = YesPlease
NO_UNSETENV = YesPlease
NO_MKDTEMP = YesPlease
+ NO_UNCOMPRESS2 = YesPlease
# Currently libiconv-1.9.1.
OLD_ICONV = UnfortunatelyYes
NO_REGEX = NeedsStartEnd
Could we get that into rc1?
I now have a different issue:
make -C t/ all
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/git/git/t'
rm -f -r 'test-results'
/usr/coreutils/bin/bash: /usr/bin/perl: Argument list too long
Is there anyway to move to xargs? I am not sure why /usr/bin/perl is having issues with the build.
