Everyone,
Through John Buckman's loaning me the temporary use of a 2-CPU Xeon E5335
Clovertown (quad-core) box, I've been able to figure out how to get
64-bit AOLserver running on it.
The recent suggestion of CC="gcc -nostartfiles" to get AOLserver to
compile and link (due to the _init symbol issue) yields a nsd binary
that doesn't run properly when 64-bit. What I believe is the correct
"fix" to the problem is to edit include/ns.mak like so:
Change:
LDLIB = ${CC} -shared ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS}
to:
LDLIB = ${CC} -nostartfiles -shared ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS}
Adding the -nostartfiles to only the LDLIB variable allows AOLserver to
link, but produces a nsd binary that appears to run without the segfault
problem on 64-bit Linux.
I'd like to hear from others who have access to 64-bit platforms if this
fixes your issue, as well.
