What's up with the attached malloc report? Why doesn't the GNU libc malloc work in Alpha Linux? Config.log shows malloc detection apparently succeeding: configure:2844: checking for malloc_get_state configure:2870: gcc -o conftest -O2 -mieee -fno-caller-saves conftest.c -lgcc -lc -lgcc /usr/lib/crtn.o 1>&5 configure:2890: checking for malloc_set_state configure:2916: gcc -o conftest -O2 -mieee -fno-caller-saves conftest.c -lgcc -lc -lgcc /usr/lib/crtn.o 1>&5 configure:2936: checking whether __after_morecore_hook exists configure:2945: gcc -o conftest -O2 -mieee -fno-caller-saves conftest.c -lgcc -lc -lgcc /usr/lib/crtn.o 1>&5 This is built with a glibc 2.2 CVS snapshot and a GCC CVS snapshot. uname -a: Linux dejima.jp.tlan 2.2.13 #1 SMP Sun Jan 12 14:31:26 JST 2048 alpha unknown ./configure '--cflags=-O2 -mieee -fno-caller-saves' '--prefix=usr' '--lockdir=/var/lock/xemacs' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--error-checking=no' '--debug=no' '--with-offix=no' '--with-xface=yes' '--with-dialogs=athena' '--with-menubars=lucid' '--with-xfs' '--with-pop' '--with-sound=no' '--with-mule' '--with-xim=xlib' '--with-ldap=no' XEmacs 21.1.10 "Capitol Reef" configured for `alphaev6-unknown-linux'.
