On a pmax, with source supped sunday, with either sh built
from Sep 29 source, Oct 3 source, or today's source, building
LintSysNormal crashes with:
/usr/src/lib/libc/sys/makelintstub: arith: syntax error: " ow† o-n"
*** Error code 2
after building the first file.
I've found that
a) if I break up the list of files in lib/libc/sys/Makefile.inc's
${ASM} into about four equal pieces, I can build any three of the
four;
b) that if I run sh over the script with sh -v, I can get about
1000 bytes into the list of files, and then it gets truncated.
c) that if I use ksh to run the script, it works fine.
so seems like a sh bug. Question is, is anyone else seeing this,
on pmax or on other ports?
