  For the RS/6000 (AIX-3.2.2) I found that I could not use "-g" or "-O2" for
CFLAGS when compiling or gnuchess would eventually hang with "illegal move"
(usually). It is possible you are seeing a similar problem, although you did
not mention the machine you are using.

  Using

        CFLAGS=-O

seems to work fine, both with "/bin/cc" and gcc-2.3.3. I have not tried to
recompile it with gcc-2.4.5 yet.

    Cheers,
