Hi Everyone,

We are testing an Autotools front-end on MSYS2. The download is
available from https://mingw-w64.org/.

We are a C++ project so we AC_PROG_CXX and AC_LANG([C++]) in
configure.ac. MSYS2 uses Newlib, and quite a few symbols are missing
because Newlib adheres to Posix more strictly than glibc and
libstdc++. The Autotools machinery produces files like lt-cryptest.c
and lt-cryptestcwd.c.

When libtool compiles its C source files with the C++ compiler on a
system with Newlib, I believe it needs to set _XOPEN_SOURCE=600.
Otherwise, errors like below are encountered. Also see
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/xsh_chap02_02.html.

In fact, the Newlib folks recommend setting _XOPEN_SOURCE for both the
GNU and Newlib runtimes. Also see
https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2017/msg01100.html.

Jeff

Looking at the flags selected by libtool, I think there's another bug
present (correct me if I am wrong)...

When C and C++ are mixed/matched like above, the C source files also
need to be compiled with (1) -frtti to ensure type information is
available; and (2) -fexceptions to ensure exceptions pass correctly
through functions in C object files.

It may be better for libtools to provide both lt-cryptest.cpp and
lt-cryptestcwd.cpp in C++ projects so the mixing and matching does not
occur. That is, the libtool provided files will get the correct
CXXFLAGS by default.

It may be worth mentioning: we don't use/set CFLAGS; libtool needs to
get the project flags through CXXFLAGS in this case.
