I have had problems sending this to bugzilla and so am posting it here. SYSTEM: Solaris 2.6, gcc 2.95.2, binutils-2.11
(1) Mathed: Native assembler fails ----------------------------------------- Making all in mathed gmake[3]: Entering directory `/home1/pub/lyx-1.2.3/src/mathed' source='math_support.C' object='math_support.lo' libtool=yes \ depfile='.deps/math_support.Plo' tmpdepfile='.deps/math_support.TPlo' \ depmode=gcc /bin/sh ../../config/depcomp \ /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../src -I./../ -I../.. -I../../boost -isystem /usr/openwin/include -O -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -c -o math_support.lo `test -f math_support.C || echo './'`math_support.C g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../src -I./../ -I../.. -I../../boost -isystem /usr/openwin/include -O -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -c math_support.C -Wp,-MD,.deps/math_support.TPlo /usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccWacuZe.s", line 3460: error: can't compute value of an expression involving an external symbol gmake[3]: *** [math_support.lo] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/home1/pub/lyx-1.2.3/src/mathed' - there is advice on the web stating that gas should not be used on SPARCs because of a failure to handle postion independent code correctly. - I reinstalled binutils-2.11 reconfigured and rebuilt and got further.

Possible minor issue here? - lyx then built and seemed to work (I have loaded an old report). (3) Gnu tools only?
