Re: Another Gcc-4.1.2 Bug On Solaris 9 12/20/07

Andrew:

  Happy Holidays!

   From the Bigzilla post it looks like the simplest solution is to use 
ksh.
Do you agree?

"Is there some special reason you're trying to build an old gcc version?"

  Two Issues:
1) I am looking for a reasonably current version that I can
build successfully.
2) I shy away from the newest in the belief that in may be buggy.

  What do you recommend? Is the newest the best?

Thanks for all the help.
