Follow-up Comment #8, bug #15757 (project make): I think you can rule out a heap management problem. I added a memset to xmalloc (so all newly allocated memory is explicitly zeroed) and I get the same behaviour.
Regarding OS differences. Yes there are differences. The structure of the make system is based on defaults overridden by platform specifics - so I have generic rules for C++ defined in make/share/c++.mk, these are overridden by reading a platform specific file make/<platform>/c++.mk if it exists. The same model is used to defined all "facilities" available. Is there anything weird about them? Maybe, I'll think about it, but I don't think there are any target specific variables involved. NB The reason I'm using 3.81beta on Solaris is that 3.80 dumped core on these makefiles, but I think at a different place. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15757> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
