[Gcl-devel] build failure on x86_64 linux

[Wolfgang Pichl]

Hi,
I am trying to build gcl on x86_64 Linux (SLAMD64 distribution). I had any 
kind of weird problems configuring and compiling the stable 2.6.7. After 
applying 2 patches from Fedora and switching off brk randomization in 
/proc/sys/kernel, I got at least 'configure' to work. 'Make' had a problem 
linking libbfd.a, because the version I have requires to link with libz. 
This could be solved by adding the linker flag -lz in makedefc and 
makedefs, but finally compilation ended with a segmentation fault.
Therefore I decided to use the CVS. This worked much better, but finally 
also failed.

The tool I am using:
gcc version: 4.2.4
binutils:    2.18.50
glibc:       2.7

These are my configure options:

./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64 --enable-readline --enable-ansi 
--enable-xgcl --enable-tkconfig=/usr/lib64 --enable-tclconfig=/usr/lib64


Configure worked without any problem, however, after a long compilation 
'make' ended up with the following error:

Pass1 signature discovery on 1095 functions ...

        ...) is being compiled.

Can anybody help me?

N.B. I posted this already yesterday, but obviously too early (after 
subscribing, but before receiving the confirmation mail). Obviously my 
first post has been ignored (as it should). Anyway, please excuse, if this
should appear doubly on the list.

Best regards
