Problems recompiling gcc 4.2.1 on 11i v2

Hello,

I just tried to reinstall a development machine to run HP UX 11iv2 as it did
before. I added all the latest patch bundles available and installed gcc
4.2.1.
However in my process of recompiling gcc as needed for our software product
I encountered the following error (attached at the bottom).
It seems that there is not enough stack space available. However I see that
maxssiz is set to 8 mb and since the machine has 1 gb ram and about 1 gb
swapspace that cannot be it.

I see that ulimit -s return 8192 but I couldn't figure out how to change it.

What shall I do?

Thanks.

Your small stack is most likely the issue. Also 1 Gb of swap may be way
too low.

Your 8 Mb maxssiz maybe too small. To increase it, you'll have to use
kctune to change maxssiz. Try 64 Mb. Make sure maxssiz_64bit is larger
than maxssiz.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it did not work though.

It's a bug in awk in hp-ux. It has been reproduced and fixed from gcc 4.2.3

Here is the proposed fix for this:
