From: "P. J. McDermott" Description: Fix empty awk function gcc/config/i386/i386-builtin-types.awk defines and calls a function named "attribute_mode" with zero statements. . BusyBox awk prints the following error message when building GCC: . awk: …/gcc/config/i386/i386-builtin-types.awk:164: Call to undefined function . This seems to be due to lines 2664 and 2665 of editors/awk.c in BusyBox 1.21.0, which throw a syntax error if the called function has no nodes in its node chain: . if (!op->r.f->body.first) syntax_error(EMSG_UNDEF_FUNC); diff -Naur src.orig/gcc/config/i386/i386-builtin-types.awk src/gcc/config/i386/i386-builtin-types.awk --- src.orig/gcc/config/i386/i386-builtin-types.awk 2009-11-25 21:39:42.000000000 -0500 +++ src/gcc/config/i386/i386-builtin-types.awk 2013-06-18 15:27:57.670059283 -0400 @@ -38,6 +38,7 @@ # else # print " __attribute__((__mode__(__HI__)))" # print "#endif" + dummy = 1 } BEGIN {
