Re: Linking errors from gplc with ld 2.28

[Daniel Diaz]

Hi Jasper,

this is due to the last gcc. The bug has been fixed on the sourceforge 
repository.
But you can also easily fix it since there is one file to change:

file src/Ma2Asm/x86_64_any.c:213
replace

#if defined(M_x86_64_darwin) || defined(M_x86_64_bsd)

by

#if defined(M_x86_64_darwin) || defined(M_x86_64_bsd) || defined(M_x86_64_linux)

Then (in src):

make clean
make
make check

Hope this helps

Daniel
