Re: gmake fails with 7.2.2

Greetings,

gmake fails with 7.2.2 identically on Redhat
Enterprise Linux and Redhat 9. Exact error is
"undefined reference to errno".

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanx.

Why in the world would you want to install 7.2.2? If you have a reason
to use the 7.2 branch at all, you should be using the latest in that
branch, which is 7.2.7 at the moment. (And yes, this is fixed in 7.2.7)

An even more relevant question is why you're not installing a reasonably
current branch, like 7.4 or 8.0 ...
