Problems: Jade 1.2, nsgml, egcs, dynamic linking

[Jeff Noxon <jeff@master.debian.org>]

I tried to build jade 1.2 because the nsgml program in sp 1.3-1.1-5
segfaults.  Consequently, sgml2html and sgml2txt don't work.

Two problems:

Jade 1.2 dies well into the build process (at least 1 hour on my AS200
4/233).  egcs gets an internal compiler error.  Sorry, I don't have
the message...

nsgml is still broken in Jade 1.2.  However, I hacked together a static
version that *does* work.  Is there any chance this is the same binutils
bug that makes Qt fail?

I'm happy for now just having nsgml working, because I need it to build
aboot.  I'm not sure how to solve the egcs problem though.  We don't have
an alternate c++ compiler.  Is it possible that compiling with -O0 would
fix it?

Who built the last version of Jade?  What was it built with?

Thanks

Jeff
