I tried to compile arla-0.23 and krb4 (1999/05/08) on SparcWork 5.0
under 64-bit Solaris 7.  C compiler was supplied with the parameter
"-xtarget=ultra -xarch=v9" and the assembler (as) was supplied with
"-xarch=v9" in order to force the compilation in 64-bit.   It seems
that it fails to compile the assembly routine when compiling the
lwp routine.  Specifically, "make-process.o.sh" gives the following
error:

+ as -xarch=v9 -P -I../include -Dsparc -DAFS_SUN5_ENV -D_ASM ./process.S -o
process.o 
as: "./process.S", line 348: error: detect global register use not covered
.register pseudo-op
as: "./process.S", line 349: error: detect global register use not covered
.register pseudo-op
as: "./process.S", line 352: warning: detect global register use not covered
.register pseudo-op
as: "./process.S", line 353: warning: detect global register use not covered
.register pseudo-op
as: "./process.S", line 645: error: detect global register use not covered
.register pseudo-op
as: "./process.S", line 646: error: detect global register use not covered
.register pseudo-op

....... 


Unluckily, I am not familar with Sparc assembly codes and I have no ideas
how to rectify this.  However, I notice that my Ultra 1 has the patch
"107058-01" applied.  According to the patch report, it says:

> this patch, rev -01
> -------------------
> 4198684 Add support for V9 ELF register symbols and the .register pseudo-op

I am not sure if this causes the problem (as I do not want to do the 
patchrm to get rid of this patch).  

Thanks for your help in advance.

Dominic
