Dunno, but when I built binutils 2.9 at work (hppa-stratus-sysv4, yes,
I'm doing the porting:) "./nm-new `which gcc` -n | less" would cause
less to be stopped (as if ^Z had been pressed) and would turn echo off
on the command line (I would have to say `stty sane' to get things
working again and `fg' was a bad idea').  Now this may be due to a bad
port of binutils (for nm???) or gcc (not likely, stage 2 and 3 compared
successfully, and texi2ps built just fine with gcc) or something wierd
in FTX (the os in question).  Hmm, could even be bash 2.02, but it built
cleanly.
