Has anybody gotten awkcc, by J. Christopher Ramming, running on their NeXT?
I am able to compile successfully and to translate simple (ie. 1-liner)
awk programs into runnable C, but awkcc chokes on larger (100 line) awk
programs.  I have tried -bsd and no optimization to no avail.  I am
confident that my 100 line awk program is ok, because awk runs it and I
have also successfully compiled awkcc on our Mips (same source code).

The NeXT version of awkcc gets part way through the translation and quits
with the simple message 'Memory fault'.  The first NeXT version, compiled
with the -O flag and no -bsd flag, would get part way through and then
trap its own error - message something like "resolve: Bad news at source
line 59".

Anyway, ideas and suggestions are appreciated.
