I'm not sure if I really posted this or if I typed ^C during mail preparation because I was thinking my request was stupid. OK, here I repeat it: During compilation and porting binutils (ld,ar,etc.) to SCO UNIX compiling with gcc-1.40 I'm observing that ld dies with "Virtual memory exhausted". This ominous message stems from an xmalloc() in ld.c where it is called with a size 0 request (?). I have not yet found the time to trace back from where this call is made, instead I fixed it the brute force way and returned a 0 in that case. Are there any comments on this strange behaviour. BTW, this did not occur on a DecSTation under Ultrix. --Chris
