Not a lot happened, then I found P_tmpdir in stdio.h is set > to /var/tmp. Rather defeats the point, I'd say. This is 2.2-CURRENT of Sep 15. First, if you have the memory to create a mfs, then you should be able to specify -pipe in the CLFAGS variable contained in /etc/make.conf. This should remove the need for a mfs unless /usr/obj is a symlink pointing to a directory on the mfs (which I doubt). According to my version of stdio.h: /* System V/ANSI C; this is the wrong way to do this, do *not* use these. */ #ifndef _ANSI_SOURCE #define P_tmpdir "/var/tmp/" #endif I doubt this is your problem. You might try setting the TMPDIR environmental variable to your mfs which gcc will honor; e.g, setenv TMPDIR /tmp -- Steve finger kargl@troutmask.apl.washington.edu http://troutmask.apl.washington.edu/~kargl/sgk.html
