This works with the usual grep. Thank you.

It broke the build because the Makefile contained paths such as 
../../home/build/src and so on.  However, I now call configure
with a relative path (as indicated in a previous message) and all
is well with the paths.

Unfortunately, now both the 32- and 64-bit version fail under the latest CVS 
version (of 2005-06-07).  It even fails on my Intel-based Linux box. (Sigh)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Solaris-i32lp64 FAILED:

../../gcc-3.3.3-gm2/gcc/gm2/ulm-lib-gm2/std/Plot.mod:0: internal compiler 
error: Segmentation Fault

Not sure what happened here.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Solaris-ilp32 FAILED:

First the compiler failed to find the constant CreateMode in StdIO.mod in
the ulm library.  I moved the definition of the constant to outside the
procedure.

./xgm2 -Wnil -Wcase -Wbounds -Wreturn -g -gdwarf-2  -funbounded-by-reference
-Wverbose-unbounded -Wpim -Wpedantic-param-names -Wextended-opaque -c
-B./stage1/gm2

../../gcc-3.3.3-gm2/gcc/gm2/ulm-lib-gm2/std/StdFuncs.mod
-o gm2/ulm-lib-gm2/std/StdFuncs.o

never be NIL
gmake[1]: *** [gm2/ulm-lib-gm2/std/StdFuncs.o] Error 1


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Linux-Intel FAILED:

The same error with the constant CreateMode as in Solaris-ilp32.  (Consistency
is good. #6-) I modified StdIO.mod as above and was rewarded with the
same failure as above.

./xgm2 -Wnil -Wcase -Wbounds -Wreturn -g -gdwarf-2  -funbounded-by-reference
-Wverbose-unbounded -Wpim -Wpedantic-param-names -Wextended-opaque -c
-B./stage1/gm2

-o gm2/ulm-lib-gm2/std/StdFuncs.o
../../gcc-3.3.2-gm2/gcc/gm2/gm2-compiler/SymbolKey.mod:241:parameter t should
never be NIL
make[1]: *** [gm2/ulm-lib-gm2/std/StdFuncs.o] Error 1

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the record, I configure anew each time that I build.

Sincerely,
