Hello,

I recently downloaded pgcc (snapshot 628, I think), and I'm
in the process of rebuilding all my libraries so that they
will be Pentium-optimized.

I got a strange (to me, anyway) error when rebuilding
WHAM, a graphical windowing library based on Allegro. Anyway,
here's the full text of the error:

Abort!

Now what kind of error gives that particular message? Here's
my command line (actually it runs from a makefile):

gcc -O6 -Wall -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -I./include -g -c
src/window.cc

Actually, that's only one of the .cc files: there are 6 or 7
of them, and pgcc barfs on all of 'em in the exact same
manner. I know that my djgpp-installation is working fine,
because everything else works flawlessly (incidentally, I
get this same error when I use the 'real' gcc, which I kept
a copy of). The library compiled before, and the only changes
I've made to the installation are: 1) getting pgcc, and 2)
getting a few more libraries.

I've looked in the FAQ, and in the mail archives, and I
couldn't find much of anything on this error, so please
don't tell me to RTFM :)

Oh yeah: it's not OS-specific -- I've got a tri-boot system
with DOS/Win95/WinNT4, and this is exactly the same on each
OS.

Thanx in advance,

\\&&&&
