The simple "Hello World" program worked on both platforms so I don't think 2.6->2.7 is the issue. This is really bizarre.

Did this program run on the sun4m? If this simple program doesn't work, then maybe it's 2.6 -> 2.7 that's the problem, not sun4u -> sun4m. > I downgraded to gcc 2.8.1 but that didn't seem to fix it.

I don't think that'll help, but it can't hurt to try. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
