Greetings! An update: 1) Optimization, even at -O, still fails with gcc-3.2. I get a maxima, but it crashes on one of the tests. -ffunction-sections still in.
2) I cannot seem to get gcl's stratified garbage collection option to work on hppa. This basically mprotects the core pages as read-only, then traps segfault signals on write attempts, unprotects the page and marks it for garbage collection. The sigaction calls don't appear to redirect control to the handler on SIGSEGV, however. This works as is on most other Debian platforms. 3) I have this setup on paer, so can provide gdb dumps to anyone who wants to try to fix this. 4) I suppose the -ffunction-sections is still required without the -g, but haven't tested this. 5) Just uploaded a maxima which should build for the first time on hppa.
