I don't know the answer to this, but I found that gnuchess would coredump
quickly
when built from the prep.ai.mit distribution. GDB showed ridiculous values
appearing
in the register variables.
To get it to run reliably I had to:
1: remove the -O2 flag ( optimization ) from the makefile
2: remove all "register" references by "#define register " in a header file
(I forget
which one, no longer have the modified source here). when compiled, one
file
complains about this because the 'int' was implied (missing) from the
register
declaration. just modify the header, build, go to the ERROR point, and
add 'int'
after 'register' and recompile.
