Hi,
haven't got Digital UNIX 4.0 here, so no first hand experiences to
pass on, I'm afraid. A couple of suggestions that might be of some
help:
- It looks like you're running up against a limit of some sort. If
it's swap/tmp space (unlikely, since ghc operates ok), setting
TMPDIR to something other than the default might help.
- If the .s file was produced with ghc's native code generator (the
default), try going the via C route, i.e., compile with -fvia-C
- GNU as?
