[tex-live] small glitch building TeX Live with gcc44

[George N. White III]

I have gcc44 (via openPKG) on Fedora 8.

export CC=gcc44
export CXX=c++44
./Build
[...]
make[1]: Making `all' in `layoutex'
make[2]: Entering directory
`/Data/opt/tex/texlive/svn/Build/source/Work/libs/icu-xetex/layoutex'

../../../../libs/icu-xetex/layoutex/plruns.cpp

../../../../libs/icu-xetex/layoutex/ParagraphLayout.cpp:857:6: error:
#elif with no expression

The following simple change seems to have worked (e.g. Build completes
and xetex
formats simple documents, but I haven't tried any complex layouts):

$ diff -C3 Build/source/libs/icu-xetex/layoutex/ParagraphLayout.cpp.orig
Build/source/libs/icu-xetex/layoutex/ParagraphLayout.cpp

      return nullLanguageCode;

  // TODO - dummy implementation for right now...
  le_int32 ParagraphLayout::getLanguageCode(const Locale *locale)
--- 854,860 ----

      return nullLanguageCode;
  }
! #else

  // TODO - dummy implementation for right now...
  le_int32 ParagraphLayout::getLanguageCode(const Locale *locale)
       ------------------------------------------

Do older gcc versions really accept #elif where #else is meant, or is this
code triggered by gcc4?
