using --enable-m-guard segfaults on solaris/sparc (using gcc+binutils)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Release: 1.4.2

Environment

problem occurs on:
sparc-sun-solaris2.8
sparc-sun-solaris2.9
sparc-sun-solaris2.10

problem does NOT occur on:
i386-pc-solaris2.9 !!!!!
i686-pc-linux-gnu
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Description

gpg fails during last state of make (when the check is done).
../g10/gpg --no-options --no-greeting --no-secmem-warning --batch --dearmor
-> segfaults

compiling gnupg without (depreciated) --enable-m-guard solves the problem, so i did not investigate further.
