Problems with kaffe-1.0.6 on alpha

[Simon Greaves]

Hi,

I've just compiled kaffe-1.0.6 with gcc-2.95.2 on an AlphaServer running
Digital UNIX 4.0D. Configure, 'make' and 'make install' all seemed to go
ok (well except gcc complained about some 'va' stuff being redefined) but
'make check' fails miserably, dumping core, eg:


make  check-TESTS
make[3]: Entering directory `/build/kaffe-1.0.6/test/regression'
test -z "*.class *.fail *.out core *.core ExceptionTest" || rm -f *.class
*.fail *.out core *.core ExceptionTest
TestScript: 7565 Abort - core dumped
PASS: HelloWorldApp.class.save
TestScript: 17864 Abort - core dumped
FAIL: HelloWorldApp.java
TestScript: 10894 Abort - core dumped
FAIL: TestIntLong.java
PASS: TestFloatDouble.java
TestScript: 13510 Abort - core dumped
FAIL: DoubleNeg.java
TestScript: 677 Abort - core dumped
FAIL: DoublePrint.java


Hmm... a '/usr/local/bin/java -version' works, so I tried compiling a
basic 'helloWorld' class:

public class Samp
{
  public static void main(String[] argv) {
        System.out.println("Boo!");
  }
}

Which fails:

% /usr/local/bin/javac Samp.java
mem/gc-mem.c:315: failed assertion `blk->free != 0'
Abort (core dumped)

Similarly if I compile it with the Sun/Compaq javac and try to run with
kaffe:

% /usr/local/bin/java Samp
mem/gc-mem.c:315: failed assertion `blk->free != 0'
Abort (core dumped)

(Hmmm.. memory, garbage collecting...) 

I'm not too au fait with gdb, but I loaded the core file and did a 'where'
which produced:

for what it's worth.

So, have I stuffed up here or is there a problem? BTW CLASSPATH is not
defined.
