Hi everyone,

These fixes are to allow building on vxWorks.  Currently there are two 
issues:

1.  VxWorks does not have a variadic open - it must receive three 
arguments.  gcc/gcov.c however opens a file for reading and does not 
pass in a mode argument, which causes an error on vxWorks.  This just 
adds a platform-based ifdef around this.  I am aware that this is 
against coding conventions, and if that is an issue, I can think of two 
resolutions.  One, an autoconf macro to check for a non-variadic open, 
or two, simply pass the extra mode argument in unconditionally, as it 
should be transparent to the function and ignored if it is variadic (I'm 
no expert on calling conventions though).

2.  VxWorks has a two argument mkdir().  libgcc/libgcov.c uses mkdir() 
and calls it with two arguments if TARGET_POSIX_IO is defined and only 
one argument otherwise.  I don't know what TARGET_POSIX_IO is, but if 
it's anything more than just mkdir(), this is probably correct, as 
vxworks is only partially POSIX compliant.  Again, another 
platform-based ifdef, so if that is anathema, it can be replaced by more 
autoconf hackery.

The patch as-is compiles targeting on vxworks and bootstraps on a native 
x86_64-linux-gnu build (which makes sense, since it doesn't touch 
anything for non-vxworks).

Gerald Pfeifer has volunteered to apply the patch if approved.

Also, in an earlier message [1] Janne Blomqvist mentioned that newer 
versions of VxWorks do have the variadic open(), and this is true.  
However, as far as I know, this version is still not available for 
kernel modules, only real-time processes.

Thanks,

Robert Mason

Yes, please do this.

VxWorks should define TARGET_POSIX_IO if it has both access and mkdir.
Please add it to gcc/config/vxworks.h if this is the case.
