4.10 Approaching

[Feng, Kate]

Yes, I read the code this morning, and it looks like the 
patch for HAVE_BLKSIZE   is in.  However, the patch
for setjmp() and longjmp() were not considered.  I am
not too sure why Ralf sees it controversial.  Please
advise.
 
Thanks,
Kate

Looks like it.  My newlib cvs has this:

2009-09-22  Ralf Corsépius <ralf.corsepius at rtems.org>

        * configure.host (*-rtems*): Remove -DMISSING_SYSCALL_NAMES.
        Add -DHAVE_BLKSIZE, -D_NO_WORDEXP -D_NO_POPEN.
