[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
i have run ./configure on git on master, emacs-30, and emacs-30.1 release
but it comes out with the error  below running make and make bootstrap.

With master, on commit 8a097aede53dfb8f595d79824c784c188b210093 i was able
to compile and install previously but it come out with the same error when
recompiling. now i am using 9261d353ccc0f94da8049faaade025f338d75354.

with emacs-30 commit 81629b2b2ba282136bc5055bbaa0302321306e61    it comes
out with the same error.

So the function does exist, but something is wrong with its prototype
declaration in the spawn.h header file.  I suggest to take a look at
the spawn.h header file and see what it says about
posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir_np.  Perhaps the prototype is
guarded by some preprocessor directives or something?

What was the exact 'configure' command you used to configure Emacs,
and was that in a clean source tree?

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
i tried with make configure="--prefix=/opt/emacs CFLAGS='-O0 -g3'" from the
emac source the posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir_np and it is a clean
source i did a "git clean -dxf".

i will try to take a look at the header file.

Building Emacs for Termux is not supported.

posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir_np is not available on the release of
Android targeted by Termux's default compiler but is yet present in the
stub `libc.so' against which the Termux compiler links, and is
consequently detected by configure though inaccessible to C or object
code at runtime.

OK, I see you already fixed the configure script to avoid these
failures.  Thanks.
