[cdt-dev] Spawner - call for help to upate the binaries

["Schorn, Markus" <Markus.Schorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
there is a need to recompile some of our binaries. I have done
this for Windows and will be able to do Linux.x86 and Solaris
tomorrow.

I am looking for someone to compile the library 'libspawner.so' on
   * Linux.ia64
   * Linux.ppc
   * Linux.x86_64

The reason for that are the two following problems:
   * spawner does not kill child processes:
     https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=119387 
   
   * SpawnerInputStream does not overwrite available()
     https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=119618   


To fix the latter (119618) code changes are needed before compiling. 
Basically the native method available0() has to be implemented for
each platform.
   * Aix
   * Macosx
   * Qnx


For Windows I also fixed the command line length limitation,
command lines for the spawner can be of length 32K now.
