I'm trying to compile Andrew patch level 7 for SunOS 4.1 on a Sun 3.
Here's the tail of my make log
(make Clean; make Makefiles; make dependInstall):

...

If I run makedo with 'csh -fvx' I get the following:

...

ld -r -o ${outfile:r}.dog $filelist ${libdir}/libcx.a | egrep "ld:"
ld -r -o helpa.dog helpa.o /usr/lib/libresolv.a /unc/menges/andrew/emsworth/andrew/lib/libcx.a
egrep ld:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

...


Running ld by hand and adding the -t option gives me:

[menges@arras] ld -r -o helpa.dog helpa.o /usr/lib/libresolv.a /unc/menges/andre
w/emsworth/andrew/lib/libcx.a
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[menges@arras] ld -t -r -o helpa.dog helpa.o /usr/lib/libresolv.a /unc/menges/andrew/emsworth/andrew/lib/libcx.a
-r:
-o:
helpa.o:
/usr/lib/libresolv.a:
/unc/menges/andrew/emsworth/andrew/lib/libcx.a:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[menges@arras]

So ld is core dumping.  That's undoubtedly a bug in ld.  Does anybody
have a fixed ld or know what (say, in our libresolv.a) might be
causing it to core dump?
