I found out what my problem was, thanks to a hint from Matthias. (Thanks
Matthias!)
I was invoking:
sh
/usr/psr.devel/SRPMS.orig/openpkg-20031020-20031020.src.sh --prefix=/usr/psr
.oit/solaris8 --musr=psr --mgrp=psr --susr=psr --sgrp=psr --rusr=psr --rgrp=
psr --nusr=psr --ngrp=psr
from a csh shell script, which re-invoked .cshrc, which in turn is designed
to set an absolute path for the build environment. Since /cw is only a part
of the build environment when bootstrapping, I was adding it to the path
dynamically by typing in "opa /cw". But when my csh script was invoked, the
"/cw" part of the path was lost and the wrong tools got picked up.
In case it helps anyone else, the error below apparently came from using the
GNU strip on files created with the native cc compiler on Solaris 9.
So I have added an "opa /cw" to my csh script and all is fine now. What I
can't figure out is why it worked just the day before yesterday!! (same
.cshrc, same csh shell script)
Thanks,
Dennis
