-Subject: [PATCH] configure.ac: fix __xmknod{,at} pointer argument
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-Switch default to assume * and not the absence of *.
-
-On glibc 2.33+, there is no definition for these functions in header
-files, so the compile test doesn't work. But, we can default to using
-the pointer (as is the case with newer glibc), and use the header file
-on older platforms to fail the test and use no pointer.
