Ideally you should be able to do (Configure && make test) 2> /tmp/err with /tmp/err being empty. This is not the case, and this commit is a first step towards that goal. The fprintf (stderr, "Sizeof time_t = %ld\n", sizeof (time_t)); in Configure appears to be just a debugging aid; it's also a copy of the code in Porting/timecheck.c, which people can always run if need-be. hints/linux.sh appears to be looking for symbols in libdb.so; if the library is stripped, this produces to stderr: /bin/nm: /lib/libdb.so: no symbols I've silenced it for now with a 2>/dev/null, but I'm not sure if the whole test is flawed, since with no symbols, 'nm libdb.so | grep pthread' is a no-op. make_patchnum.pl, when running backticks, prints $? to stderr if it's non-zero; since a similar print in the other branch is already commented out, I assume its just left-over debugging.
