Debug executable aborts with "illegal instruction" in __nxm

[Nick Monyatovsky]

There is a very odd thing happening on our COMPAQ (ALPHA) machine:

All debug executables (-O0 -g) are aborting at the end with:

thread 0xb signal Illegal instruction at >*[__nxm_thread_kill] ret zero, (ra), 1
> 0 __nxm_thread_kill(...)
1 pthread_kill(...)
2 (unknown)()
3 (unknown)()
4 exc_raise_signal_exception(...)
5 (unknown)()

All non-debug executables are working fine.

Has anyone run into this? I have tried all possible combinations of flags in the debug object, but I cannot get this symptom go away.

Thanks in advance,
