Indeed, the problem is with the 3.3.x, x >= 4 compiler. Other versions are immune. The problem doesn't show up with Sun tools or Binutils <= 2.14. > I compiled the conftest.c program with -s and used Sun's assembler > /usr/ccs/bin/as to assemble the file. /usr/bin/grep still failed to find the > string. Using Gnu grep worked. For some reason Sun's /usr/bin/grep doesn't > see the string. Sure, but that's not breaking news. The test ultimately doesn't fail or succeed because of that on Solaris. Instead it piggybacks on the Harbison&Steele runtime test. > As for not using binutils 2.15 or later, what is the problem with these > versions with the exception of the required patch to 2.15?
