I just tried to compile X11R4 (PL12) on my SUN Sparc-1 running SUN OS4.1. According to the instructions, specifying having gcc should make the code run faster, so I did that...I have gcc-1.37.1...Everything seems to compile OK, but I noticed that when make tries to run mit/rgb/rgb to build a data file, there was a segmentation fault and core dump. If I recompile rgb.c by hand with Sun's cc, there was no problem... My question is: Is this caused by gcc? Has anyone compiled X and gotten it to run using gcc? Is gcc worth it?
