Glibc 2.17 made __secure_getenv an officially supported function, and
renamed it secure_getenv. The libgfortran configure has checked for
both of these, per
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Tips_and_Tricks/secure_getenv.
Unfortunately, while the dynamical library (libc.so) retains the
__secure_getenv symbol for backwards compatibility, the static library
(libc.a) does not. This means that a libgfortran.a compiled against an
older glibc will not work if one tries to link against a newer
libc.a. This creates problems for providing gfortran binary
distributions that work on as many target systems as possible.
Thus, retain the support for __secure_getenv but call it only via a
weak reference.
Regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.

* libgfortran.h: HAVE_SECURE_GETENV: Don't check
HAVE___SECURE_GETENV.
* environ/runtime.c (secure_getenv): Use __secure_getenv via a
weak reference.

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).
The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose
names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and
some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
individual source files for details.
The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is
gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details
of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.
See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable
version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*.
See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully.
Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range
notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range,
inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed
individually.
