egcs 10-31 and UnixWare

[acs at acm dot org]

I still can't build the recent egcs snapshots on UnixWare 2.1.2 (SVR4.2 MP).
The most recent snapshot I successfully built was egcs-970910.  I have tried 
many snapshots since then, including 10-31 and 11-05 and they all fail in 
the same way: the stage 1 compiler builds an executable which dumps core in
__do_global_dtors_aux() on the way out.

(testgcc-971104 fails in the same way, so I've included gcc2 in the 
distribution list.)


Here's the backtrace:
#0  0xbffb3783 in kill ()
#1  0xbffe3528 in abort ()
#2  0x804853e in __do_global_dtors_aux ()
#3  0x8048ffd in _fini ()

(See http://www.cygnus.com/ml/egcs/1997-Oct/1099.html for more info.)

The failure comes from crtend.o.  I'm trying to figure out what's going on
there, but I could use some pointers in how to debug it; gdb claims there is
no source information available for crtend.o.

BTW, I notice that crtstuff.c (progenitor of crtend.o) changed between 
970910 and the newer snapshots to include a bunch of exception handling 
code.  (I mention this in case it jogs anyone's memory.)  I also notice 
that crtstuff.c is now identical between egcs and testgcc-971104.

Any hints/suggestions/reminders are welcome.

thanks,
