at the notice in config.guess or ltmain.sh.)

This is version 6.1alpha5 of a conservative garbage collector for C and C++.

This is version 6.2alpha6 of a conservative garbage collector for C and C++.

You might find a more recent version of this at

Line 229 and several of those are compatible with the collector

Dynamic libraries are completely supported only under SunOS

Dynamic libraries are completely supported only under SunOS/Solaris,

(and even that support is not functional on the last Sun 3 release),

Linux, IRIX 5&6, HP-PA, Win32 (not Win32S) and OSF/1 on DEC AXP machines.

Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, IRIX 5&6, HP/UX, Win32 (not Win32S) and OSF/1

On other machines we recommend that you do one of the following:

A port to a machine that is not byte addressed, or does not use 32 bit

or 64 bit addresses will require a major effort. A port to plain MSDOS
