We had 1 problem with our 4/260 Sys4-3.2. This version of the SunOS seems to be missing the symbol "alloca". I fixed this problem by making a change to the file: "util/imake.includes/Sun.macros" There seems to be some sort of hybridization going on in the Sun4-3.2 OS. Following the comment line: /* define this as you like for server compilation */ is a line that was: #if SunOSPlatform && OSMajorVersion >= 4 I changed it to: #if SunOSPlatform && (( OSMajorVersion >= 4 ) || ( HOSTTYPE == sun4 )) You need to verify that HOSTTYPE is getting set in your environment. No other changes were needed to solve the alloca problem. Of course you must to a make World again to get the Imake to fix things up correctly. Someone who is familiar with the Sun OS needs to check that HOSTTYPE is the right thing to test. -- Wilson M. Michaels
