Platform-Specific Configuration Notes
=====================================
1. configure --without-gnu-malloc on:
alpha running OSF/1
alpha running Linux
next running NeXT/OS
all machines running SunOS YP code: SunOS4, SunOS5, HP/UX
linux (optional)
QNX 4.2
other OSF/1 machines (KSR/1, HP, IBM AIX/ESA)
AIX
sparc SVR4, SVR4.2 (ICL reference port)
DG/UX
Cray
NetBSD/sparc (malloc needs 8-byte alignment; GNU malloc has 4-byte)
BSD/OS 2.1 if you want to use loadable builtins
If you are using GNU libc, especially on a linux system
(Configuring --without-gnu-malloc will still result in lib/malloc/libmalloc.a
being built and linked against, but there is only a stub file in the archive.)
2. configure using shlicc on BSD/OS 2.1 to use loadable builtins
3. Bash cannot be built in a directory separate from the source directory
using configure --srcdir=... unless the version of `make' you're using
does $VPATH handling right. The SunOS make, for one, does not seem to
do it right. The script support/mkclone can be used to create a
`build tree' using symlinks to get around this.
4. I've had reports that username completion does not work on IRIX 5.3
when linking with -lnsl. This is only a problem when you're running
NIS. Editing the Makefile after configure runs and removing the
`-lnsl' from the assignment to `LIBS' fixes the problem.
