I'm trying to make a decision as to whether to use gcc instead of
Sun's ANSI C for which they are stupidly trying to charge universities
per-machine license fees.

If I can't successfully build an "ALL gcc" (including shared libraries) X11,
then I have to give up and pay Sun.

I installed the patches in gcc-2.3.2/README.X11.  After changing "syslimits.h"
to "sys/limits.h" in limits.h, everything compiles, but NO executables build:

gcc -fpcc-struct-return -o xeyes xeyes.o Eyes.o transform.o -O2   -L../.././lib/Xmu -lXmu -L../.././lib/Xt -L../.././extensions/lib -L../.././lib/X -L../.././lib/Xt -lXt -L../.././extensions/lib -lXext -L../.././extensions/lib -lXext -L../.././lib/X -lX11 -L/usr/local/X11R5/lib -lm  
collect: /usr/bin/ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]

A segmentation fault is a little difficult to diagnose.  The time I'm
spending getting things to work which should work out of the box but
don't is begining to cost more than just forking out the money for
commercial versions.

Is it time to give up yet?

Can't freeware do a little better than this?

I am using SunOS 4.1.1.
