Problems with GNU Prolog 1.3.1 unstable

[Paulo Moura]

Hi!

I'm trying the latest unstable version of GNU Prolog (1.3.1) on MacOS  
X 10.5.5 Intel. Using default configure flags (except for prefix)  
allows for a smooth compilation and installation but GNU Prolog gives  
me a "Bus error" when trying to run Logtalk with it. The problem seems  
to be a bug in the processing of the initialization/1 directive.  
Commenting out this directive and the error is gone.

Trying to compile GNU Prolog with the configure option --disable-regs  
leads to an error in make:

...
gplc -c wam_emit.wam
[ ! -f  pl2wam ] || cp pl2wam pl2wam0
gplc -o pl2wam --no-fd-lib --min-bips pl2wam.o read_file.o bip_list.o  
syn_sugar.o internal.o code_gen.o reg_alloc.o inst_codif.o first_arg.o  
indexing.o wam_emit.o
gplc -c --fast-math fd2c.pl
compilation failed
make[1]: *** [fd2c.o] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 1

None of these problems is present in the stable 1.3.0 version.

Best regards,

Paulo
