Has anybody gotten gpc to run on sunOS or on Solaris?
I managed to get version 1.2-2.7.2 compiled on both, but neither works very well. On Solaris gpc1 gets a fatal signal, and an internal compiler error, when compiling certain programs. On SunOS, it seems to compile properly, but it dumps core when linking.
Is there any platform where gpc coud be considered to be stable? I'd consider getting another machine, if I could just get gpc to run correctly on it.

Yes, I have gpc 1.2 (2.7.2) compiled and running under both SunOS and Solaris. It is true that there are still some bugs in gpc that allow gpc1 to core dump. Those should be reported. Several of my "standard" programs compile and run with no problem. In fact, we have had our students using gpc as their primary PASCAL compiler for a couple of years.

I found a solution for the problem I was having under SunOS. I can get the program compiled if I specify the source files, to gpc, but not if I compile the files, and link them separately. Should this be considered to be a bug?
What I did, exactly:
