From: ctne_ltd@uhura.cc.rochester.edu (Chris Newbold) Subject: 0.98-pl5 has left many of my binaries dead Date: 17 Nov 1992 03:43:27 GMT
I installed patch 5 for the kernel the other night. However, it
seems to have broken many of my binaries.
I read Linus' note about the sigaction problem and the read-only
text section stuff, but it seems as if I'm having more trouble
than others...
bash 1.12.3, tcsh 6.02, uugetty and su are all broken. The shell
binaries are dated late September; su and uugetty I compiled myself
within the last month. I'm using GCC 2.2.2d7 and jumplibs 4.1.
tcsh won't even start, it just dumps core. bash runs, but is
severely crippled: it doesn't seem to be able to evaluate conditions.
This breaks all but the simplest of makefiles (can't compile the
kernel, can't even re-compile bash)...
Is anybody else having this much trouble? If not, where did you get
the binaries that work?
