Bug report for gcc
Hardware: Cubix QB3/386
OS: System V Release 3.2
Versions: gcc - 1.36
Configurations: gcc - i386v
Problems: Building gdb-3.[34] (i386-sysv3.2) with gcc causes gdb to
memory fault and dump core when started up; while building gdb
with the native C compiler does not. (Also, gdb doesn't quite
seem to have COFF down pat, yet. Compare the output of gdb to
the output of sdb below).
The gdb building process:
