Machine DN3500, SYSTYPE=bsd4.3, COMPILER=/bin/cc, OS=SR10.1
Trying to compile gcc-1.33, while compiling stmt.c, I get the following:

   Fatal error in /usr/apollo/lib/cc
   Status 023
   *** Exit 19

The compiler does make it through the 4000 line source file (I put a syntax
error at the end which it found), so the error is comming from a later pass.

Command line used is:
   cc -g -O -U__STDC__ -DSHORT_ENUM_BUG -c stmt.c

If anyone has seen this and has found a fix I would be glad to hear from you.
If this is truly an internal bug, then could someone from Apollo indicate
what causes the above message so that a workaround can be found, I need gcc
yesterday.  I did go through the C language reference and did not find any
mention of Fatal errors, perhaps this could be added to the manual, with some
indication of what the cause is so that I and others could conceive a work
around, but not having any hints as to the cause is totally useless.

-thanks

P.S> Is anyone keeping a list of bugs in 10.1, I'm building up quite a nice
     collection.  The best one so far:  dbx appears to be useful for
     debugging *correct* programs only :-).
