Thanks, that is just what I needed. In fact I had gotten as far as finding the debian-sparc stanza in Configure myself. However that line looked rather evil to me, with all the different gcc options. Since I wasn't sure if it mattered where exactly on the line I'd put the -mv8 flag, I turned to the lists. I'll apt-get a new source tree and compile it later today. By the way, I did search the archives but I never manage to find information quickly in them. The search engine or its interface is just not very friendly. Unfortunately using Google, the message you refer to didn't come up in the first couple of hundred results. Bob
