When I bootstrapped gcc-1.36, I got many warnings while compiling symout.c: stage1/gcc -Bstage1/ -c -O -g -I. -I. -I./config symout.c symout.c: In function symout_init: symout.c:157: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c: In function symout_types: symout.c:341: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c:465: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c: In function symout_array_domain: symout.c:595: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c: In function symout_range_bounds: symout.c:608: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c:614: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c: In function symout_record_fields: symout.c:639: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c: In function symout_enum_values: symout.c:658: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c: In function symout_block_symbols: symout.c:854: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c: In function symout_block_tags: symout.c:886: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c: In function symout_block: symout.c:946: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c:949: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c: In function symout_top_blocks: symout.c:1058: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c:1061: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c:1094: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c:1097: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c: In function symout_source_file: symout.c:1127: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c: In function symout_sources: symout.c:1165: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c: In function symout_finish: symout.c:1211: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types symout.c:1223: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types I looked at symout.c at all the lines mentioned above, and noticed that they all had calls to fwrite(). Someone recently added ANSI prototypes for the stdio library to our /usr/include/stdio.h (all #ifdef'd __STDC__) and the prototype for fwrite there is: extern int fwrite(const char*, int, int, FILE*); The calls to fwrite in symout.c should have casts for the first arguments. No? (Or is there something wrong with this prototype for fwrite?) Maybe the warnings above should also indicate which argument is causing a problem. -Tim

It seems that my problem lies in the fwrite prototype in our /usr/include/stdio.h and not with gcc-1.36. Thanks to those who responded. -Tim
