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. >I can't compile gcc 1.36 on a pmax running Ultrix 3.1.

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. >----output from make follows:------- > >cc -c -g -YBSD -I. -I. -I./config tree.c ^^^^^ 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 .
