Gawk does not work on it. + +1. The `sgicc' compiler lies to `configure' and pretends it's gcc. But it +really isn't, and several things don't work. + +2. Even if used with gcc, the executable doesn't run; somehow quoted +strings don't stay as one argument to gawk, which is, of course, +disastrous. + +3. It's flaky; initially `configure' wouldn't even get past the getpgrp +test. Then later it would. + +Arnold Robbins +arnold@skeeve.com |
