I am trying to build X11R5 off a CD-ROM (from PDQ) on a Sun 4/330 running
OS 4.1.1.  I customized site.def and sun.cf minimally.  When I "make
World," I'm getting the following errors in my log file:
  gcc -fstrength-reduce -fpcc-struct-return -o phigsmon phigsmon.o -O
    ../libphigs.a -L../../../.././lib/Xaw -lXaw -L../../../.././lib/Xmu
    -lXmu -L../../../.././lib/Xt -lXt -L../../../.././extensions/lib -lXext
    -L../../../.././lib/X -lX11   -lm -B/usr/bin/
  gcc: Program ld got fatal signal 11.
  *** Error code 1

I'm getting these errors for lots of the clients it's trying to make:
xeyes, twm, xauth, xbiff, etc.  I just barely understand what I
think is happening -- gcc isn't finding a library or isn't liking the one
it finds.  When I tried to manually compile this same thing with:
  gcc -fstrength-reduce -fpcc-struct-return -o phigsmon phigsmon.o -O
    -L../../../.././lib/Xmu -lXmu
I get the same error.  When I try to do the build using Sun's cc, I get:
  cc: Fatal error in ld: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
which (I am guessing now) points to the same problem.

When I cd from the directory where I think this compile is
occuring to ../../../.././lib/Xmu, I find a library libXmu.sa.4.10.  Isn't
this what ld wants?  What is it really complaining about?  The man page
for ld says that "-lXmu" will make it look for "libXmu.a".  Does libXmu.sa.4.10
need to be linked to libXmu.a, or is the ld man page fibbing?

Any help to end my frustration (besides a recommendation for
a large-caliber firearm) would be most appreciated.
