Subject: bug#9140: fsusage: revert unintended change on AIX, Cygwin, Interix
Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2011 16:53:40 +0200

Slight correction: It is still needed after 1), at least on MacOS X 10.5.
But only on MacOS X. So here's the proposed patch 2. Verified on AIX and
Cygwin; I don't have access to an Interix machine.


2011-07-23  Bruno Haible  <bruno <at> clisp.org>

	fsusage: Restore previous behaviour on AIX, Cygwin, Interix.
	* m4/fsusage.m4 (gl_FILE_SYSTEM_USAGE): Enforce a 64-bit struct statvfs
	f_blocks field only on MacOS X.
