    Sun patch 107058-01 (1999-01-13) for SPARC Solaris 7 triggers a bug in

-   released it as a patch.
+   later, including all EGCS releases. Sun formerly recommended 107058-01
+   for all Solaris 7 users, but around 1999-09-01 it started to recommend
+   it only for people who use Sun's compilers.
+   
+   Here are some workarounds to this problem:
+     * Do not install Sun patch 107058-01 until after Sun releases a
+       complete patch for bug 4210064. This is the simplest course to
+       take, unless you must also use Sun's C compiler. Unfortunately
+       107058-01 is preinstalled on some new Solaris-based hosts, so you
+       may have to back it out.
+     * Copy the original, unpatched Solaris 7 /usr/ccs/bin/as into
+       /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.95.1/as, adjusting
+       the latter name to fit your local conventions and software version
+       numbers.
+     * Install Sun patch 106950-03 (1999-05-25) or later. Nobody with
+       both 107058-01 and 106950-03 installed has reported the bug with
+       GCC and Sun's dynamic linker. This last course of action is
+       riskiest, for two reasons. First, you must install 106950 on all
+       hosts that run code generated by GCC; it doesn't suffice to
+       install it only on the hosts that run GCC itself. Second, Sun says
+       that 106950-03 is only a partial fix for bug 4210064, but Sun
+       doesn't know whether the partial fix is adequate for GCC. Revision
+       -08 or later should fix the bug, but (as of 1999-10-06) it is
+       still being tested.
