Subject: build: fix build failure on AIX
X-Git-Tag: v9.11~11
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5597a275c2b60610090b40dd64ff5904dd393f41;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

build: fix build failure on AIX

* m4/jm-macros.m4: AIX has a splice() function for TCP,
so check for vmsplice() instead.
* src/splice.h: Define HAVE_SPLICE if vmsplice available.
Reported by Bruno Haible.
