This README file is copied into the directory for GCC-only header files |
| 2 |
when fixincludes is run by the makefile for GCC. |

Many of the files in this directory were automatically edited from the |
| 5 |
standard system header files by the fixincludes process. They are |
| 6 |
system-specific, and will not work on any other kind of system. They |
| 7 |
are also not part of GCC. The reason we have to do this is because |
| 8 |
GCC requires ANSI C headers and many vendors supply ANSI-incompatible |
| 9 |
headers. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Because this is an automated process, sometimes headers get "fixed" |
| 12 |
that do not, strictly speaking, need a fix. As long as nothing is broken |
| 13 |
by the process, it is just an unfortunate collateral inconvenience. |
| 14 |
We would like to rectify it, if it is not "too inconvenient". |
