Oddly enough this isn't the first time this happened. The changelog shows that pow10 was removed from libc in 1997, and an update was required.

I don't think these patches are big enough to justify switching to a forked source. Possibly is in the future, as more accumulate. Thank you for your work.

I have had issues with undefined reference to pow10, see: (1)

Based on the Changelog of glibc 2.27 it seems they completely dropped pow10:

* The libm functions pow10, pow10f and pow10l are no longer supported for
  new programs.  Programs should use the standard names exp10, exp10f and
  exp10l for these functions instead."

I have implemented this change and also provided an updated PKGBUILD in (2).

Trivia: Today is 10 years after the last release by David Frey.

(2): https://gist.github.com/AfoHT/16aca77567718a2a50a3e9a3974e5d75#file-pkgbuild

I've made some changes and now it works fine.

Weird. Try the pkgbuild I just uploaded?

@keenerd : no, I have everything. After searching a bit, it seems it fails with my locale :

$ echo $LANG
fr_FR.UTF-8
$ yaourt -S rpncalc
...
ed -s - rpncalc.1 < proto.ed
...
==> ERREUR : Une erreur s’est produite dans build().
Abandon...
==> ERREUR: Makepkg n'a pas pu construire rpncalc.

$ export LANG=C
$ yaourt -S rpncalc
...
(1/1) reinstalling rpncalc
$

This is not related to your package but comes from upstream. I tried with the sources, same punishment.

Sounds like you are missing one or more packages from the base/base-devel groups. Take a look at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites

Build currently fails for me :

sed -e "s/\\\$Date.*\\\$/`date +'%B %-d, %Y'`/g" rpncalc.1.sed > rpncalc.1
ed -s - rpncalc.1 < proto.ed
%CMDS%
?
Makefile:58: recipe for target 'rpncalc.1' failed
make: *** [rpncalc.1] Error 1
rm gram.c scan.c

Thanks !

Please update the pkgbuild to meet modern standards.
Do not use $startdir/src, use $srcdir
Do not use || return 1
Move the 'make install' to a package() function.
