According to some further research at least FreeBSD and NetBSD have copied this GNU extension. You may find their versions easier to integrate.We already have a GNU fnmatch in compat/fnmatch.
Do you have any plan to deal with this? I currently have this
monkeypatch to build on Solaris:
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index 62d526a..079fae5 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
@@ -863,2 +863,4 @@ endif
ifeq ($(uname_S),SunOS)
+ COMPAT_OBJS = compat/fnmatch/fnmatch.o
+ COMPAT_CFLAGS = -Icompat -Icompat/fnmatch
NEEDS_SOCKET = YesPlease
One way to deal with it would be a new NONGNU_FNMATCH=UnfortunatelyYes
flag, or the fnmatch_icase() suggestion above which we could bundle
and always use. But having next build on systems without GNU
extensions would be preferrable.
