I am having trouble compiling the NIH library. The Makefile of directory errfac does some patching of the ..c files, namely the following:

${CC} ${CFLAGS} -F -c errors.c | sed -e 's/__0__builtin/__builtin/g' >errors..c

    Now, this introduces ambiguities as two parameters become identical due to the sed modification. When I remove the sed, it compiles but seems to return an error code as the make stops. Was the sed really necessary ?

    I compiled the files by hand. But the testing of the NIH class fails. array gives me a segmentation fault. Is it related to the sed business ? Or does it have to do with static constructor order of calling of the linker ?

    I'll be grateful to anyone who could provide some help.
