Very Computer

we have a problem regarding the /usr/include/pthread.h file when using it
with the gnu-gcc/g++-compiler version 2.95.2 (installp from bull).
The preprocessor (cpp) responds with following warnings:

/usr/include/pthread.h:113: warning: missing white space after `#define
PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER'
/usr/include/pthread.h:128: warning: missing white space after `#define
PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER'
/usr/include/pthread.h:147: warning: missing white space after `#define
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_INITIALIZER'
/usr/include/pthread.h:157: warning: missing white space after `#define
PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT'

And compilation will abort when one of these defines is used.

These defines has changed from
#define PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT               {0,\
                                         0,\

to this in 4.3.3.3
#define PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER\
{\
        0,      /* no waiters */\
        0,      /* no waiters */\

There are no blanks anymore...

IBM Software Support USA says: It's a Gnu-C-compiler problem.

A fix is to add 4 blanks to the code.
But on all our machines it much work. IBM will not fix it.

Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?

With kind regards
