possible open() problem again

[Ian Chapman]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if any C guru can help with this. I've already fixed a few 
of my packages to use correct parameters when calling open() but this 
one is beyond my limited knowledge. I'm assuming this particular problem 
is related anyway. When compiling against devel I get:

<snip>

         then mv -f ".deps/chains.Tpo" ".deps/chains.Plo"; else rm -f 
".deps/chains.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

The line it refers to is:


<snip>
int open(const char *pathname, int flags, ...)
{
    va_list args;
    mode_t mode = 0;

    CHECK_INIT();

    va_start(args, flags);
    if (flags & O_CREAT)
    {
       if (sizeof(int) >= sizeof(mode_t))
       {
          mode = va_arg(args, int);
       }
       else
       {
          mode = va_arg(args, mode_t);
       }
    }
    va_end(args);#
...
...
</snip>


A work in progress SRPM (~770k) is available here, if anyone would be 
kind enough to have a look. Thanks.
