System: Pyramid 90x series OS: OSx 4.4 C GCC Version: GCC 1.36 Problem Description: Gcc dumps core while compiling the math library (gnulib) at stage2. 'Make' and make of stage1 complete just fine. However, gcc dumps core (cc1 signal 4 -illegal instruction) on the first file of gnulib when making stage2. This occurs with "-O" flag. Without the ompimization enabled, both stages compile and link properly. As a test of the compiled gcc 1.36, I then tried to compile gnu emaccs 18.55 on the same pyramid. As before, no optimization, everything goes fine, till the point when temacs is going to run batch. All I get when I try to run the compiled temacs is (Fatal error 10) and it just sits there - doesn't return to the shell prompt. (I tried the _longjmp, _setjmp things mentioned in 18.55 docs for the pyramid with the same results). Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated. --ed Time travel is so dangerous it makes H-bombs seem like perfectly safe gifts for children and imbeciles.
