Whoops, I answered this in private mail but didn't realize the question was cc-ed to the list. I am trying to port CVSup (and therefore the Modula-3 compiler) to FreeBSD/sparc64. One ports the Modula-3 compiler by cross-compiling a bootstrap compiler on another platform. The bootstrap compiler is dying pretty quickly with a segmentation violation when I run it on the sparc64 machine. It looks like the problem is bad code being generated, though it's awfully hard to debug it without a working gdb. The Modula-3 code generator is a modified version of gcc-2.95.3, and I suspect the sparc64 support wasn't quite ready for prime time yet in that version. John -- John Polstra John D.
