[kaffe] Kaffe Segmentation Fault

[Mike Drozdick]

Hi.

I am running Kaffe 1.1.7.

I reverted to gcc 3.4.5, worrying about 4.1.1.
If I did it right it should eliminate compiler as an issue.

I modified my build procedure to the following:
CC=gcc-3.4.5 ./configure
gmake
gmake install

It seemed as if the build was using gcc 3.4.5 as it should.
Still, no luck.

Might some tool other than gcc be causing me grief.
I couldn't think of anything else myself.

Thanks.
-Mike

GCC 4.1 is known to give some headaches. Which version of kaffe have you
tried? 1.1.7 or recent CVS? There are some fixes for GCC 4.1 in CVS.
