Two cc bugs on the RS/6000:
xlc silently fails when given a very long -D argument on the
command line. It prints no error but exits with status 1.
If invoked as cc it does not do this.
If compilation is suspended and resumed, sometimes cc prints
a fatal internal error. This seems to happen only late in
compilation on large object files. I suspect a signal handler
isn't distinguishing between child stopped and child exited.
To test the first bug, "make Intrinsic.o" in /mit/x11/build/rs_aix31/lib/Xt.
The Makefile uses xlc, and gets an error. If you say "make CC=cc Intrinsic.o"
there is no problem.
