Setup:
Perl 4.0 at patch level 3.
386/33 AMI Motherboard with AMI BIOS.
AT&T UNIX 3.2.2
gcc 1.39 (without the COFF patches)
Problem: Using gcc, the compilation proceeds smoothly,
and I can make perl. However, it fails
to run. Here' what happens with a 'make test':
$ make test
cd t && chmod +x TEST */*.t
cd t && (rm -f perl; ln ../perl .) && ./perl TEST </dev/tty
sh: 5242 Floating exception - core dumped
*** Error code -120 (ignored)
When I recompile everything with the stock cc, it works fine.
gcc was installed through the bootstrapping process and
it passed the comparisons of stage 2 of building the compiler.
It was also used to install TeX on this machine successfully,
but could it still be the culprit?
Please send me email about any help/suggestions/ideas/things to
check for, and I'll summarize to the net if there's any interest.
If I haven't posted any relevant information, please let me know.
Thanks!
