Hi, this looks like a problem I've debugged last year: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33661 I've also proposed a fix for that but unfortunately forgot to ping this after a while: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-06/msg00838.html I'll try to get this in after GCC 6 release.

Re: C++ Cross-Compiling on zLinux for z/OS

2010-01-15 Thread Andreas Krebbel
Hi, Are there options for "gcc" or are cross-compilers available which would run on zLinux and generate object code or modules which could be executed under z/OS? GCC and the GNU binutils do not support the z/OS ABI and binary format. So currently there is no way to build z/OS executables usi

2008-05-29 Thread Andreas Krebbel
Hello, this a known bug in glibc. For all biarch targets the utmp/utmpx/wtmp files are shared between 32 and 64 applications. Since these files simply consist of struct utmp size records struct utmp must be the same in both cases. Unfortunately a struct utmp usually contains long type value whi
