gcc-2.2.2 on 386i-sysv with 4 mb RAM 10 mb swap partition on
a 200mb fast HD, running att unix V Rel 3, works up to the very final module:
"enquire"
Compilation all the way through enquire.c with native compiler
appears normal, enquire.o and enquire itself are created, but the system
dumps core at the first instance that command is used in the Makefile
line:
"enquire -f >tmp.float.h"
followed by: "mv tmp.float.h float.h"
Core is dumped when I try to run the newly-compiled enquire by itself,
outside the make procedure. Thus, I am unable to obtain the module float.h
other than a null-content,useless file named float.h ....
Subsequent, stages 1 and 2 fail at that very same point.
In other words, gcc works as compiled by the native compiler and
stage1 and stage2 also seem to work with the newly-compiled gcc, until
the enquire-module is supposed to creat float.h, etc.
My floating point unit is a 80387i-compatible Cyrix unit and
otherwise works fine according to all diagnostics and in actual use both
under UNIX and DOS ....
Is this problem with enquire.c enquire.h etc a known problem in
small (4mb-memory) systems such as mine?
Is there a workaround?
P.S. It is not possible with this computer (a T5100 Toshiba) to add
memory - unfortunately. But the standard C compiler and all
appropriate libraries furnished by AT&T for SysV Rel 3. are
there and X Windows runs fine, for instance.
Any hints will be appreicated!
Thanks,
