When I compiled andrew with cc -O on the Sun-4, I too got what at first seemed like a crash in sh. The problem turned out to lie in /bin/as rather than sh. Sun is apparently aware of this problem. I had no such troubles when I compiled andrew with gcc-1.37: gcc -O -traditional -fstrength-reduce -fwritable-strings (I used the gnu assembler gas-1.34). We have been running a gcc compiled version of andrew on our Sun-3's and SPARCstation's now for about a month without any apparent problems.
