Platform(s): Solaris 2.5 and SunOS 413_U1 (SparcStation 2) (likely more). Package: GCC Version 2.7.2.1 - Likely header file error. - Discovered while recompiling perl 5.003 (first BIG package to use the newly build 2.7.2.1). File: /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3_U1/2.7.2.1/include/float.h In float.h there are references to "Infinity" which are never resolved (that *I* can find). #define DBL_MAX Infinity (and related for float and long). My solution was to take the float.h from 2.7.2, which used actual numbers, rather than "Infinity", "InfinityL", etc. The real solution, I don't know. I'm not THAT familiar with how GCC creates these files. Thanks, chuck yerkes chuck@yerkes.com
