[daip] AIPS - compiling custom tasks pain

[Michael Bietenholz]

Thanks for looking into it.  I will try re-compiling with the
additional compiler options you suggested in case that makes the
segfault go away (seems like a long shot - options might make a diff
as to whether your compiled program segfaults, but shouldn't affect
whether the *compiler* itself does so)....

You asked which one it was: gcc & gfortran version 4.5.2 - full output
of gcc -v and gfortran -v below if you want.  As you say, the gcc compilers
have had their share of issues, so this may just be one that has issues.

Great - thanks, at this point that would seem the least frustrating
option :-)

Perhaps its just that if the field is blank in .AIPSRC, it reverts to
the defaults.  I left it blank in install.pl because I wasn't sure
whether install.pl would deal with "$INC" usefully, and it kept dying
with the -axWPT option even though I thought I had removed that.

>From what I could tell, I don't need the -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64:
"getconf LFS_FLAGS" returns nothing, so that's supposed to mean the
default compilation is good for large files.  I think it shouldn't
hurt though....
