BUG in scripts/cpp

[Simon Derr]

        Hi,

The compilation of glibc 2.2.5 failed on my Linux machine.
The reason was that the script scripts/cpp failed to find
the right cpp path on my system.

There are in this script these lines :

  cpp=`type cpp 2>/dev/null | awk '{ print $NF }'`
  if test $? -ne 0; then

This is wrong as the exit code being tested here is the one of awk instead of
type.

A fix can be to write instead:

  cpp=`type cpp 2>/dev/null`
  err=$?
  cpp=`echo "$cpp"| awk '{ print $NF }'`
  if test $err -ne 0; then


        Simon.

PS:I tried to report this bug using the gnatsweb interface but it did not seem
to work...
