+       openat: port to AIX 7.1 with large files
+       AIX 7.1 does a "#define openat open64at" if large files are in use,
+       so we can't simply #undef openat.  Use the orig_openat trick (similar
+       to orig_open in lib/open.c) to work around the problem.  Problem
+       reported by Kevin Brott for GNU tar, in the thread containing
+       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2011-09/msg00032.html>.
+       * lib/openat.c (__need_system_fcntl_h): Define first.
+       Include <fcntl.h> and <sys/types.h> before undefining.
+       (orig_openat) [HAVE_OPENAT]: New inline function.
+       (openat) [HAVE_OPENAT]: Do not undef.
+       (rpl_openat): Use orig_openat, not openat.

+       openat: test for fstatat (..., 0) bug
+       Further testing with tar suggests that fstatat (..., 0)
+       does not work in general, on AIX 7.1; see
+       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2011-09/msg00023.html>.
+       So, give up entirely on AIX 7.1's fstatat, and fall back on our
+       replacement fstatat (which is what older AIX releases were using
+       anyway).
+       * lib/fstatat.c (fstatat) [HAVE_FSTATAT]: Do not undef.  The only
+       use is now changed to orig_fstatat.  This was probably the right
+       thing to do anyway.
+       (FSTATAT_AT_FDCWD_0_BROKEN): Remove; no longer used.
+       (rpl_fstatat) [FSTATAT_ZERO_FLAG_BROKEN]: Remove.
+       (rpl_fstatat): Simplify, assuming !FSTATAT_ZERO_FLAG_BROKEN.
+       (AT_FUNC_NAME) [FSTATAT_ZERO_FLAG_BROKEN]: Now rpl_fstatat.
+       * m4/openat.m4 (gl_FUNC_FSTATAT): Test for the more-general bug
+       and define FSTATAT_ZERO_FLAG_BROKEN, not FSTATAT_AT_FDCWD_0_BROKEN,
+       if the bug is found.
+
+       openat: test for fstatat (AT_FDCWD, ..., 0) bug
+       This tests for another fstatat bug on AIX 7.1:
+       fstatat (AT_FDCWD, ..., 0) does not work.  See
+       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2011-09/msg00015.html>.
+       * lib/fstatat.c (FSTATAT_AT_FDCWD_0_BROKEN)
+       (LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK): Default to 0.
+       (rpl_fstatat): Adjust so that it works around either (or both)
+       bugs if present.
+       * m4/openat.m4 (gl_FUNC_FSTATAT): Test for this fstatat bug.

+       * doc/regex.texi (Character Class Operators): Avoid literal ":"
+       in index entries.

+
+       strtoimax, strtoumax: Document problem on HP-UX 11.
+       * doc/posix-functions/strtoimax.texi: Mention HP-UX 11.11 problem.
+       * doc/posix-functions/strtoumax.texi: Likewise.

+
+       strtoumax: Avoid link error on OSF/1 with DTK cc.
+       * m4/strtoumax.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRTOUMAX): Always test whether strtoumax is
+       defined as a function.
+       * modules/strtoumax (Depends-on, configure.ac): Test only whether
+       strtoumax is defined, not whether it is declared.
