Ahh, that's nice.  At a client's request, I have been working on QNX 6.3.2.

I just installed 6.4.1 in another VM, and it's a bit different. The common way to handle binary packages (iconv and perl) seems to have changed to pkg_add so the PATHs I had set might not make sense anymore.

Also the weird failing test at t0000.42 seems to be fixed.  Funny.

As I might be the only person to run git on 6.3.2 instead of a more modern QNX, it might make sense for me to just submit the minimum patches needed for QNX 6.4.1 and then carry the strings.h, getpagesize, and lock() changes for 6.3.2 on my own.

I think that might be a different program that also used to be named "git". I think it has now been renamed gnuit.
