I have (as far as I know) got DJGPP 2.03 successfully running as a
cross compiler under solaris (7). Now, I have a particular piece of
code which, if I cross compile it using this compiler and run it on
one machine it works but on a different machine it hangs. Both
machines are made by the same manufacturer, appear to be exactly the
same design and run MS-DOS 6.22. There may be hidden hardware
difference I am unaware of but the one I do of is that the machine
that the code hangs on has a 233 MHz (Intel) CPU whilst the other
machine has a 133 MHz (Intel) CPU. Oh, and I know it's not a one of
machine problem because I can reproduce the exact same failure on 4
different 233 MHz machines.

If I compile the code on the machine itself (admittedly using DJGPP
2.02), it works just fine.

I am trying to find a simple piece of code which will demonstrate this
effect but, until I do, does anyone have any suggestions about where I
might start looking for the problem?

Thanks

Neil
