Hello,
if this is a FAQ sorry, but in the GCC FAQ on my CD I found nothing.
I have trouble to run xbench under linux and gcc 2.7.0 (ELF system).
It segfault's.
While debbuging it I found that a assignment of a global
variable is the reason:
...
int sync;
main ( ...


sync=0;
here is the SEGFAULT
...

I wrote a little test prog that give the same result:
/*########################*/
#include <stdio.h>

int     sync;

main(argc,argv)
    int argc;
    char **argv;
{

	sync = 0;
	printf("sync=%d\n",sync);
	
}
/*########################*/
With ELF (default) this prog segfaults,
with aout (gcc -b i486-linuxaout) it runs.

What's wrong ?
(I have an idea that sync is allready an symbol in libc, but why does it
work under aout ?).

Thanks Karsten
