Did you want to know about warnings? Sun Solaris, with GCC
I get

In file included from regex.c:2687:
regex.c: In function `ruby_re_search':

This is with

(That's a little behind the times, but not far.)


I also got:

gcc -fPIC -g -O2  -I. -I../.. -I../../. -I../.././ext/bigdecimal   -c bigdecimal.c
In file included from ../../ruby.h:21,
                  from bigdecimal.c:23:

/usr/include/sys/feature_tests.h:96:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition

which is probably wrong at my end...

I've recently installed readline on here
/scratch/hgs/readline-5.0
and I now get:

gmake test succeeds, so these are not really a problem as far as I
know, but I raise these in case it helps...

By the way, I noticed there's no `make check` target. Did you reject
that, or not accept it yet?

         Thank you,
