[Chicken-users] broken chicken on one of two solaris/sparcs

[Graham Fawcett]

Hi folks,

I have access to two solaris/sparc machines:

SunOS good 5.9 Generic_117171-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R
SunOS bad 5.10 Generic_118833-24 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200

On the first machine, "good", Chicken builds and runs just fine. But
on the second machine, "bad", I can build, but the resultant system
dumps core whenever I try to load a shared library. For example,

address@hidden:~/chicken $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib bin/csi -:d -R srfi-1

Note, I have a custom install prefix on both machines; neither is
installed as root.

> From the list, I see there were some old Solaris-related issues. I've
taken the output of "gcc -dM -E - </dev/null" from both machines, and
have attached the difference. I don't know if anyone can use this to
provide clues; if there's something else you can suggest, I'll give it
a try.

Thanks
