instalation problem

Mon Apr 10 08:19:00 GMT 2000

Hi,
I am trying to get a fairly vanilla gjc going on Solaris
(sparc-sun-solaris2.7) but am getting segementation faults as soon as
it tries to start up the run-time system on a trivial Hello program
(that runs fine on a Sun JVM when compiled with `gcj -C'):
	(gdb) run
	Starting program: /home/cdornan/progs/a.out 
	Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
	0xff14f5f0 in GC_find_limit (p=0xffbef57c "", up=1)
	 at ../../../libgcj-2.95.1/boehm-gc/os_dep.c:681
	681 GC_noop1((word)(*result));
I am using gcc-2.95.2 and libgcc-2.95.1. (I tried to build
libgcc-2.95.1 with gcc-2.95.1 but ran into header file problems.)
I configured gcc-2.95.2 with
	--enable-threads
but didn't enable threads for libgcj-2.95.1.
When I do a clean rebuild with
	--enable-threads=posix
it gives me a link error:
	Undefined first referenced
	 symbol in file
	sched_yield /export/home/cdornan/gnu/gcc-2.95.2/lib/libgcj.so
	ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
	collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
(I have attached the full verbose gcj report to the end of this message.)
My questions are:
 * What is most likely to be going wrong? Is there an easy fix?
 * What is the surest, quickest way to get a plain gcj/libgcj that
 produces working ELF executables? Should I disable threads when
 building gcc? Would I be better building on Linux?
 * If I build gcc with threads enabled, can I build libgcj without
 threads?
 * Should I have specified `-enable-threads=posix' while building
 gcc?
Any help, much appreciated.
