Re: [Gcl-devel] Problems building gcl-2.6.1-18 on Solaris 8 (SPARC)

[John Tang Boyland]

Just (bye) itself was enough to crash things.
I installed gcc 3.3 (took two days -- gcc has its own bugs)
and built gcl again (with --enable-debug).
This time it ended with the following (see below).
(And notice how the annoying makefile deletes the executable that
had a segfault: covering up its tracks!)

If you can tell me how to re-create unixport/save_pcl_gcl
from within this partial build directory, I'd be happy to run it
through gdb.
