It sounds like you are using a very old Itanium linux distribution. Itanium gcc work was not finished until around the gcc-3.0.4 release. Everything before that should be considered beta. The Itanium linux gcc-2.96 compiler is known to have a number of problems, problems that will never be fixed because nobody maintains that old compiler anymore. We are only maintaining gcc-3.3 and later at the moment.

I'd suggest updating the compiler, except that part of the work involved in finishing the compiler required some major ABI changes, so an updated compiler is very unlikely to work if you have an old linux distribution.

So instead, I'd suggest updating to a more recent Itanium Linux distribution that uses a gcc-3.x compiler.

If you really need that old linux distribution fixed, then you may have to do it yourself, or hire someone to do it for you. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.SpecifixInc.com
