What niemidc@oasis.gtefsd.com meant to say was that the cc1 built from the 1.39 version of gcc shipped with 386bsd 0.1 will fail (with a SIGFPE if I remember right) trying to compile enquire.c. If, instead, you build that cc1 with a pre-existing gcc 2.?.?, then enquire.c will compile, and enquire will work. I've had this problem building several versions of gcc2, including 2.4.3 a week ago. I didn't try with 2.4.5; I've gotten used to this drill. Cheers, Dave.
