mc 4.5.6

[Philippe Defert cern ch]

I generated succesfully mc 4.5.6 with egcs 1.1.1 on the
following platforms: 

sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1
sparc-sun-solaris2.6
i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
i686-pc-linux-gnu
alpha-dec-osf4.0b
hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20
powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0
mips-sgi-irix6.5

All generation processes were OK. The Makefile seems to have some
nested rules which always make mc/gmc/corba-gmc to re-link at each
make. That is not easy to see if make was correct after all.

- on i686-pc-linux-gnu

 : :ln -s ../edit/libedit.a .

  I made util.c use getcwd instead of getwd. 

  Then there was a problem with -lcom_err. I just suppressed it from
  the Make.common file and generation was OK.


- on mips-sgi-irix6.5, the link of gnome/gmc fails as the libraries
  are before the *.o. Solution put $(LDFLAGS) after the .o files in
  the Makefile. The same is true for corba-gmc.
  Then generation ends up succesfully.

  #include <sys/time.h> is missing in vfs.h, solution -> increase domain
  of the #if to include AIX.

  The flag -Wl,-bbigtoc is needed later (big table of contents).

  All is then OK.

Amicalement.
Philippe.
