RE: Problems compiling 1.7.0 on redhat el4 64bit

I am attaching a patch file which I used to change utf.c in the head revision to get things to play nice with el4 64bit. "make check" does come back clean with this version.

P.S. why isn't "make check" structured so that the -j option to make would work. It would be nice to use multiple threads to speed up the run.

Ok, I've tracked down which revision caused the problem. It happened in rev 1104160. Stefan2 made a change to utf.c to speed up UTF8 conversion. Ever since this change went in I am seeing subversion crash when I compile on 64bit el4.

Just for kicks and giggles I updated to the HEAD revision of http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk. Did a reverse merge on rev 1104160, cleaned up the conflicts and built it and viola! No more crashing when built on 64bit el4.

Thanks. Moving the thread to dev@

Can someone look at this and possibly fix it?

If you are not on users@, and to summarize this thread. SVN builds fine on RHEL 4 64-bit but crashes immediately on any command, even svn help. I saw the same problem with our builds.
