Re: [gnugo-devel] Building GNU Go for the iPhone

Hi Justin,

what you did sounds fine to work around the cross-compile problem seems
fine, the files generated by the utility programs are definitely
platform dependant.

Which version of GNU Go are you using exactly? It might also help to
copy-paste the offending code to make sure we are talking about the same
place.

However, it is really hard to guess what is going wrong knowing almost
nothing about the platform. Could "Bus Error" mean a segmentation fault?
Does it have any highly unexpected variable sizes, stack size limits,
etc.?
