The above were recently posted in comp.sources.unix. Has anyone ported these to the Tower, and if so, can you post the diffs?

There were no diffs for gnudiff, other than cutting at the makefile comment- out the Gcc and enable the SYS-V stuff. (Caveat: I have installed POSIX directory searching code on "my" Towers, but I think there is some support for this stuff in the C libraries anyway.) Don't use -O2 with any Gnu stuff--use -O1. High optimization breaks alloca on the Tower, and the Gnu folks *love* alloca. Haven't yet updated to the new RCS version, but I really don't expect much problem there, either. If you're having problems installing these, send me e-mail. I keep a variety of tools on these Towers (a V.2 600 and and V.3 500): perl, RCS, flex, Gnu-diff, dmake, etc. Generally installing V.x p.d. software on the Tower is pretty easy, though. -- Len Reed Holos Software, Inc.

Use Doug Gwyn's alloca package or add -W2,-a,-a to CFLAGS for just those files that call alloca. -- -Mike Wescott mike.wescott@ncrcae.Columbia.NCR.COM

Actually, you need to use -W2,-aat or -W2,-a,-a,-t, this is documented in the warnings section of the cc(1) man page.
