[comp.unix.aux] /bin/as crashing

briand@rfengr.com (Brian Dear) (01/12/91)

I'm encountering "memory fault - core dumped" type messages when
I try to compile two fairly big C programs in A/UX using the cc compiler.
When it gets to the /bin/as stage of the compilation, halfway through
I get the bomb.

Sometimes the message says:

    cc: "/bin/as": fatal error; terminated by signal 11; core dumped

Now, what could be causing this?  Not enough RAM?  A bug in A/UX's
C compiler or assembler?  Anyone else ever encounter these kinds
of problems?  By the way, this is on a Mac IIci with external 160SC
hard disk.

Kindly address any e-mail replies to: brian@coconut.com

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who e-mailed me regarding the problem I encountered
with AUX's /bin/as crashing.  After using the -B option for AUX's cc,
and specifying the "big" versions of as and cc, everything works fine.
