| Description | The MPS doesn't work with GCC 2.96, because of stricter language standard compliance in the compiler. In particular, we have string constants which are too long and a %p printf directive being passed an Addr argument.
This was reported [1] by someone who had downloaded the MPS. |
| Analysis | Break up string constants, check printf arguments more closely, and compile with a more up-to-date GCC (thrush has 2.95.4). |
