12 [LinuxPPC-R5, egcs-1.1.2-12c]
14 Serious egcs-1.1.2-12c (stock LinuxPPC R5) bug on ppc:
18 Bug report filed, fixed in egcs-1.1.2-12f or gcc-2.95-0a.
19 Although we've currently got a workaround in place, the compiler
20 is buggy; you should upgrade:

25 [LinuxPPC-R4, egcs-1.0.2]
27 All compiling with -O2 is suspect, in particular guile-1.3, and
28 Lily herself will break.
33 A binary RPM of Guile 1.3 has been distributed from the LilyPond ftp
34 site. This binary was made in RedHat 5.x, and it will fail if this
35 RPM is used with RedHat 6.x.
40 Guile 1.3.2 is buggy in several respects. Do not use it for LilyPond.
43 [Sparc64/Solaris 2.6, make-3.77]
45 GNU make-3.77 is buggy on this platform, upgrade to 3.78.1 or newer.
48 [Sparc64/Solaris 2.6, ld]
55 The following is from the gcc install/SPECIFIC file.
57 Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a relocation
58 overflow severe error when the -bbigtoc option is used to link
59 GCC-produced object files into an executable that overflows the TOC.
61 fix for APAR IX75823 (OVERFLOW DURING LINK WHEN USING GCC AND
62 -BBIGTOC) is available from IBM Customer Support and from its
63 [27]service.boulder.ibm.com website as PTF U455193.
65 Binutils does not support AIX 4.3 (at least through release 2.9). GNU
66 as and GNU ld will not work properly and one should not configure GCC
67 to use those GNU utilities. Use the native AIX tools which do
68 interoperate with GCC.
70 add -Wl,-bbigtoc to USER_LDFLAGS, ie:
72 LDFLAGS='-Wl,-bbigtoc' ./configure

79 [Linux i386, RedHat 5.2 with updates to 6.0]
83 configure --disable-checking --enable-printing --disable-optimise --disable-debugging
85 results in core dumps, during parsing of init files. Cause unknown.
88 --enable-checking and --enable-optimize
92 LilyPond occasionally crashes while parsing the initialisation files.
93 This is a very obscure bug, and usually entering the commandline
94 differently "fixes" it.

113 This behaviour has been observed with machines that have old libg++
114 versions (LinuxPPC feb '98, RedHat 4.x).
