Description Michael Tokarev 2000-04-03 17:42:02 UTC

bash 2.04 is the default shell in rawhide now (wow! good!).
It prohibits usage of hyphens (-) in env. variable names.
But there are many, many of such a variables exported by make
from Makefile(s) in glibc.  Build log from glibc-2.1.3:

...
/bin/sh: invalid character 45 in exportstr for full-config-sysdirs
.././scripts/mkinstalldirs: invalid character 45 in exportstr for
full-config-sysdirs
/bin/sh: invalid character 45 in exportstr for full-config-sysdirs
.././scripts/mkinstalldirs: invalid character 45 in exportstr for
full-config-sysdirs
...

I've fixed this on 2000-04-26 in both glibc 2.1.9x and glibc 2.1.3.
