Hi,

I'm trying to compile octave 2.0.13 with egcs 1.1.1 (2.91.60) on Solaris 7 x86.
I configured it with "configure --enable-bounds-check" only, and it came up
with relocation error at Quad.o at the linking of octave. This has happened
before with gcc 2.8.1 as well. Searching the archive, I noticed there was
an error about Quad.o several months ago. How was it resolved?

(I have patched up 2.0.13 with the patches by Mumit Khan.)

Thanks,
Kai

Enclosed is the error:
