Do you mean this is your third posting of this problem with no reply?  If
you don't get a reply, chances are that no one knows the answer, or no one
has time to figure it out for you.  I don't think repeated postings of the
same problem to gcc.bug/bugs-gcc is appropriate.  Rather, you should try to
figure it out for yourself.

My apologies in advance if I misunderstood you.  If you HAVE investigated
this problem, please give us more details.

How _exactly_ did you configure GCC?  Did you make ANY changes?

I do believe we are running Ultrix 3.1, and I had no trouble building
GCC, other than the memory leak I've reported.

What's with the -YBSD option?  Its presence indicates that you at least
modified the Makefile; I can't find any reference to it in my copy of the
Makefile.

Are you mucking with the Programming environment?  Do you have PROG_ENV set
to SYSTEM_FIVE or POSIX?  I would guess that this is the problem; we don't
muck with the alternative Ultrix environments.  You are probably picking up
a wierd version of <varargs.h>.
