Subject: Prolem setting up Vortex/Cecil 3.0 on Solaris (problem in gc)

Hello:
I have downloaded the following:
Vortex-Vortex-3.0.solaris.tar.gz
Vortex-Cecil-3.0.solaris.tar.gz
Vortex-Java-3.0.solaris.tar.gz
When trying to install I ran into a problem with the Boehm GC
build. Running the `gctest' program during the build gave
this result:
STACK_GROWS_DOWN is defd, but stack appears to grow up
sp = 0xffbef03c, GC_stackbottom = 0x0
stack direction 3
Abort (core dumped)
I corrected this part of the build by using a newer version
of the collector, but later on the build failed again when
the `vortex' program ran:
[pts/11][9111][18:02:42]excalibur% bin/solaris/vortex
STACK_GROWS_DOWN is defd, but stack appears to grow up
sp = 0xffbef03c, GC_stackbottom = 0x0
stack direction 3
Abort (core dumped)
(Same error.)
Using gdb, I get the following backtrace (using the GC library
as distributed, built with symbols) from `gctest':
(gdb) where
#0 0x7fb169c0 in _libc_kill () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#1 0x7fab9340 in abort () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#2 0x197f0 in GC_abort (msg=0x20390 "stack direction 3\n") at misc.c:745
#3 0x194a4 in GC_init_inner () at misc.c:464
#4 0x19580 in GC_enable_incremental () at misc.c:565
#5 0x16fd8 in main () at test.c:944
I get the nearly same call stack from running gdb on `vortex' after it aborts:
(gdb) where
#0 0x7fb169c0 in _libc_kill () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#1 0x7fab9340 in abort () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#2 0xce5168 in GC_abort ()
#3 0xce4e1c in GC_init_inner ()
#4 0xce4ef8 in GC_enable_incremental ()
#5 0xcafab0 in runtime_main ()
#6 0xc05ac8 in main ()
My system is:
[pts/11][9112][18:02:45]excalibur% uname -a
SunOS excalibur 5.7 Generic_106541-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
Is there a newer version/build available? Alternatively, can I correct this
problem myself somehow? (It appears that a working compiler is needed to
bootstrap, so I'm guessing no?)
Kind Regards,
James
PS: I am actually interested mostly in Cecil; I can live without the Java frontend.
