Hi,
In short, GCL and ACL2 are now working back again on Mac OS X Panther.
- BFD : I applied my patches to the local BFD tree, as Camm suggested,
carried out tests on a Debian machine (the only non OSX machine I have)
to make sure the modifications didn't break anything, and haven't
noticed any breakage. Using BFD is now what I would recommend for MacOS
X (--enable-locbfd). In order to add BFD support for MacOS X, I had to
modify sfaslbfd.c (see patch in the attached file). This has previously
been discussed here :
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/gcl-devel/2003-11/msg00108.htm.
- SGC : The recent changes to sgbc.c had broken compatibility with
MacOS X because a segmentation fault raises SIGBUS on MacOS X, whereas
it apparently raises SIGSEGV elsewhere. AFAICT, everything is now
working back again thanks to one of the attached patches.
- Additionally, I've modified configure.in in order to set appropriate
defaults for MacOS X and to detect DBEGIN properly.
