- The followings are the report from k.h@mix on 1.6.24b, originaly
- written in English.
-
- ------
- The libc.A made by the "lib/Makefile.ansi" in 1.6.24b causes
- some problems.
-
- For example, the "/bin/sh" dies at the meta-character expansion
- in some conditions of the protect mode.
-
- $ echo /usr/src/tools/*
- Memory fault - core dumped
-
-
- This is caused by string functions in the "lib/string" directory.
- It seems to me that "lib/string/*.s" files are bad. By re-creating *.s
- files from "lib/string/*.x" with
-
- for i in *.x
- do
- /usr/lib/ncpp -P -Di8088 $i.x >$i.s
- done
-
- we can get correct libc.A.
-
- Also, by using the "libs.A" from the "UniPress" distribution, we
- can get correct result.
