This might not be the right address to use for this mail, but I don't
know where else to send it.

It's just for info.


In the gcc.info files following gcc-2.3.3 in Node: Installation Problems
you write:



   * On System V release 3, you may get this error message while
     linking:

          ld fatal: failed to write symbol name SOMETHING
           in strings table for file WHATEVER

     This indicates that the disk is full or your ULIMIT won't allow
     the file to be as large as it needs to be.

and


   * On the Tower models 4N0 and 6N0, by default a process is not
     allowed to have more than one megabyte of memory.  GNU CC cannot
     compile itself (or many other programs) with `-O' in that much
     memory.

     To solve this problem, reconfigure the kernel adding the
     following line to the configuration file:

          MAXUMEM = 4096



 The last thing must be done on a System V release 3 Version 5.1,
Motorola too.

On this system it's quit confusing.  ulimit gives the answer 
32768, but nevertheles you only have 1024 because MAXUMEM default
is set to that. So, on this system you must reconfigure the kernel
too changing MAXUMEN to e.g 4096 or more.


Just thought i would mention it because it caused me much trouble.
