- This might not be the right address to use for this mail, but I don't
- know where else to send it.
-
- It's just for info.

-
- In the gcc.info files following gcc-2.3.3 in Node: Installation Problems
- you write:
-
-
-
- * On System V release 3, you may get this error message while
- linking:
-
- ld fatal: failed to write symbol name SOMETHING
- in strings table for file WHATEVER
-
- This indicates that the disk is full or your ULIMIT won't allow
- the file to be as large as it needs to be.
-
- and
-
-
- * On the Tower models 4N0 and 6N0, by default a process is not
- allowed to have more than one megabyte of memory. GNU CC cannot
- compile itself (or many other programs) with `-O' in that much
- memory.
-
- To solve this problem, reconfigure the kernel adding the
- following line to the configuration file:
-
- MAXUMEM = 4096
-
-
-
- The last thing must be done on a System V release 3 Version 5.1,
- Motorola too.
-
- On this system it's quit confusing. ulimit gives the answer
- 32768, but nevertheles you only have 1024 because MAXUMEM default
- is set to that. So, on this system you must reconfigure the kernel
- too changing MAXUMEN to e.g 4096 or more.
-
-
- Just thought i would mention it because it caused me much trouble.
