[tlbuild] portability fix for texk/web2c/luatexdir/luafontloader/fontforge/fontforge/namelist.c

[Vladimir Volovich]

Hi Taco,

when compiling TL2009 on aix, i'm getting this error:

source='luatexdir/luafontloader/fontforge/fontforge/namelist.c' object='libff_a-namelist.o' libtool=no \

and a fix is this one:

==============================

note that in r7694, this fix was already applied last year, but it
disappeared after a re-import of luatex sources. probably because luatex
re-imported a more recent version of fontforge.

the best would be if you could ask fontforge upstream authors to fix
their sources so it won't re-appear again; but if you can just fix
luatex and TL2009 repository, it will be helpful too.

Best,
v.
