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

Greetings! I'm pleased to announce that gcl/maxima is now supported in hppa, the last of the 11 Debian architectures. The issues were/are with gcc on this platform, and were masked somewhat by my not setting up gcl's internal compile flags correctly. 1) When compiling with -g, the final link fai

Greetings! One more observation here which may be helpful -- on hppa, malloced memory starts at ~ 0x20 and the stack counts *up* from ~ 0xb000. gcl can deal with this without difficulty, except for the fact that variables declared *volatile* have addresses in the 0x7a range. This pu

Greetings! I think I may have stumbled on a possible explanation for gcl's build failure on hppa. Hppa alone will not relocate (i.e. allow dlopen to open) modules not compiled with -fPIC. All other architectures on which dlopen is currently used (alpha, ia64, mips, mipsel) follow the original Su
