- Gawk 3.0 is known to be broken on 64-bit SGI machines running IRIX 6.x.
-
- 1) It needs to be compiled with the native cc, not gcc.
-
- 2) Even if compiled with the native cc, the gensub and gnu regex tests fail.
-
- I don't have access to an IRIX 6.x machine, so I am not able to track
- down the problem. If any kind soul is able to run gawk from a debugger
- and figure out what the problem(s) are, and would let me know (and supply
- patches!), I'd greatly appreciate it.
-
- Thanks!
