BSD/OS 3.1 problems

[Werner Koch]

Hi,

Steven said it is okay to forward this to the mailing list.

Any suggestions?

I believe it's the version of the assembler that's being used:

S654$ as -v
GNU assembler version 2.8.1 (bsd/os), using BFD version 2.8.1
^?S655$ gcc -v
gcc version 2.7.2.1

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../include  -g -Wall -O2 -c mpih-mul1.S
/tmp/cc008707.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc008707.s:117: Error: Alignment not a power of 2
/tmp/cc008707.s:135: Error: Alignment not a power of 2
*** Error code 1

Here was the problem in twofish.c -- there were many more lines like this:

`echo gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../include -I../intl  -g -Wall 
-DIS_MOD
ULE -shared -fPIC -lc -o twofish ./twofish.c |  sed -e 's/-O[0-9]*/  /' `
/usr/include/stdio.h:357: warning: `__sputc' defined but not used
twofish.c:2442:invalid character '[' in first operand
twofish.c:2461:invalid character '@' in first operand
twofish.c:2464:invalid character '@' in first operand
twofish.c:2467:invalid character '@' in first operand
twofish.c:2472:invalid character '@' in first operand
twofish.c:2476:invalid character '@' in first operand
twofish.c:2479:invalid character '@' in first operand
...
twofish.c:29594:invalid character '@' in first operand
twofish.c:29599:invalid character '@' in first operand
twofish.c:29606:invalid character '@' in first operand
twofish.c:29662:invalid character '[' in first operand
twofish.c:29689:invalid character '@' in first operand
twofish.c:29699:invalid character '@' in first operand
twofish.c:29727:invalid character '@' in first operand
twofish.c:29740:invalid character '@' in first operand


s651$ gcc -v
gcc version 2.7.2.1
s652$ as -v
GNU assembler version 1.38

I confess I don't understand the structure here that involves linking
twofish.c -- if it's something to do with elf-type dynamic linking, it
wouldn't work anyway on BSD/OS 3.1.  

I ran gcc with -E; it produced a rational-looking file, without 29000 lines
or #line entries.  It seems to be the -fPIC that does it; if I delete that,
it compiles just fine.

I should note that I'm not that concerned about 3.1; I'm getting a new machine
in a few weeks and I'll install 4.0 on it, rather than upgrading.  But you
might want to note the problem on your Web page.
