This has already been reported to Joy Kendall and may have already been

Anyway, we are running gcc-1.35 on a Sun3 with an fpa, SunOS 4.0.3.
The following program causes a segmentation fault:
main() {
char *s = "foo";
*s = 'f';
}
This one seems pretty significant. I have a hard time the compiler managed to
compile itself, and actually runs...
and it should fault; the program attempts to change a constant.
it worked in old C, but not in ANSI C...
