* posix/execvp.c: If execv fails with ENOEXEC, run the shell on the file. Fri Feb 9 11:46:45 1996 Roland McGrath <roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu> * time/Makefile (CFLAGS-zdump.c, CFLAGS-zic.c, CFLAGS-ialloc.c, CFLAGS-scheck.c): Use -DNOID instead of -Wno-unused. * hurd/Makefile (user-interfaces): Added hurd/tioctl.
