FIXINCLUDES OPERATION
=====================

See also: http://autogen.SourceForge.net/fixincludes
The set of fixes required was distilled down to just the data required
to specify what needed to happen for each fix. Those data were edited
into a file named gcc/fixinc/inclhack.def. A program called
AutoGen (http://autogen.linuxbox.com) uses these definitions to
instantiate several different templates (gcc/fixinc/*.tpl) that then
AutoGen (http://autogen.SourceForge.net, ver 4.x) uses these definitions
to instantiate several different templates (gcc/fixinc/*.tpl) that then
produces a fixincludes replacement shell script (inclhack.sh), a
replacement binary program (fixincl.x) and a script to drive the
binary fixincl.sh).
replacement binary program (fixincl.x).
If there is no special purpose script, then mkfixinc.sh will try to
compile, link and test execute the binary version. If it cannot be
successfully built, the shell version will be used instead. If
mkfixinc.sh determines that your system needs machine-specific fixes
that have not yet been applied to inclhack.def, it will install and
use the current fixinc.* for that system instead.
compile, link and execute the fixincl program. Otherwise, it will
install and use the current fixinc.* for that system instead.
Also, on certain platforms (viz. those that do not have functional
bidirectional pipes), the fixincl program is split into two.
This should only concern you on DOS and BeOS.
