A version not affected by the bug. 4.0.0 bootstraps on Solaris 2.5.1 with as: WorkShop Compilers 4.2 dev 13 May 1996 It looks like we need to document that as: Sun WorkShop 6 99/08/18 is problematic. > Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but it looks like either the > problem is not present on SPARC, or the comment is wrong: patch 4910101 > is for x86 platforms only. The problem is definitely present on SPARC (see the relocation). > In any case this looks wrong and needs to be fixed. Yes, we should probably revisit the problem. -- Eric Botcazou
