For alpha OSF/1 v3.2 (GCC 2.6.3): If your linker starts to output error messages like:
Warning: Linking some objects which contain exception information sections and some which do not. This may cause fatal runtime exception handling problems (last obj encountered without exceptions was <OBJ/LIB>)
I do not know why these started to appear, but you can get rid of these if you do as follows in the GPC object directory.
You need to trigger the Makefile dependencies, e.g. by doing the touch
command below. What happens is that it re-generates the version.c and
rts/version.c files, which need to be recompiled with ALPHA_BUG
defined.
Example:
% touch Makefile % make MY_CFLAGS=-DALPHA_BUG other-make-flags-you-want-to-use
