Static make problems regarding getloadavg and related

[gerard@…]

Test the following fix:

---

Change Makefile: Before:

make_OBJECTS = ar.o arscan.o commands.o dir.o expand.o file.o \ function.o getopt.o implicit.o job.o main.o misc.o read.o remake.o \ rule.o signame.o variable.o vpath.o default.o remote-$(REMOTE).o \ version.o getopt1.o

After:

make_OBJECTS = ar.o arscan.o commands.o dir.o expand.o file.o \ function.o getopt.o implicit.o job.o main.o misc.o read.o remake.o \ rule.o signame.o variable.o vpath.o default.o getloadavg.o remote-$(REMOTE).o \ version.o getopt1.o

compile getloadavg.c by itself with "gcc -c getloadavg.c."

Patch to job.c removing the getloadavg call

There hasn't been anybody reporting this problem so I don't see a need to fix it right now. When the next person comes across this, we'll create a patch on-the-fly for him or her to try out.

I'm closing this bug. This problem doesn't occur enough to justify the trouble in creating a patch for make, having people download it and add notes when to apply it. It only happens once in a blue moon, so those people can go to the search engine and find their fix there.
