linker terminated

Joel Moots — Fri, 21 May 2004 09:23:28 GMT

We have started getting the following error when compiling some applications:

aCC: error 1922: "/usr/ccs/bin/ld" terminated with signal 10

This is on the following box:
# model
9000/800/K460
# uname -a
HP-UX m4 B.11.00 U 9000/800 1428661371 unlimited-user license

We are severely limited by memory since we only have 4 GB and we have a memory resident database that uses a shared memory segment of 3.5 GB. Glance reports:

Total VM : 67.6mb Sys Mem : 210.6mb User Mem: 3.75gb Phys Mem: 4.00gb
Active VM: 31.4mb Buf Cache: 15.6mb Free Mem: 26.9mb

From googling, I though maybe the error was related to maxdsiz, but I just upped it and it made no difference.

Does anyone have a clue what to look at next?

TIA,

if this is a 32-bit link, can you run 'odump -verifyall' on the object files (*.o) and see if something looks abnormal in the output ?

any progress with odump ?

odump didn't help since these were 64-bit object files, but while messing with elfdump I noticed it complained about I/O errors for one of the files, so I contacted the vendor (who supplied them) with cksums and found out we didn't match. So, after getting a new set, all is well.
