Building octave on Solaris

[pben]

Hi folks,

I was wondering if you would help me figure out why the octave build is failing on our Solaris 2.9 system. The config.log is attached. I am doing this as a user, not as root, so that may be the cause of this problem. I am trying to build 2.1.48, however the problem is the same for 2.1.35. I am using gcc v. 3.2.2.

Here's the snippet from the build process:


gcc -c -I/home/pben/readline-4.3 -I. -I../.. -I../../liboctave -I../../src -I../../libcruft/misc -I../../glob -I../../glob -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 f77-fcn.c -o f77-fcn.o

If I remove instances of GCC_ATTR_NORETURN, the compile seems to work fine.

Many thanks in advance for your guidance,
