Re: [Gcl-devel] Problems Compiling GCL 2.5.3 on Solaris 9

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

OK, our sparc solaris 'autobuilder' at the University of Texas only
builds the traditional image, as that's all they need.  I just tested
the --enable-ansi build successfully on this box, and it works, so I
can't reproduce this myself (yet).

(daggoo.cs.utexas.edu$ uname -a
SunOS daggoo.cs.utexas.edu 5.8 Generic_108528-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
daggoo.cs.utexas.edu$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /lusr/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/3.0.3/specs
Configured with: ../gcc/configure --prefix=/lusr/gnu --enable-shared 
--enable-java-gc=boehm --enable-threads=posix --with-as=/lusr/gnu/bin/as 
--with-ld=/lusr/gnu/bin/ld

gcc version 3.0.3
)

If you just need a build, I can tar this up for you.  If you would
like to pursue this error, which of course is helpful for us, try this
patch:

Rerun, and get the symbol name which is undefined.  We can try to
proceed from there.

Take care,
