Ross,

Where can we find this update for "workaround-1.1.efi"?
I've been rambling around the intel IA64 efi site without success.
What exactly is causing the freezing of the system? I'm seeing
this with sgiCC (prevoius 8/28 update), but have also encountered it with
other apps.

Thanks,

--Rob

is available from http://oss.sgi.com/projects/Pro64.

This fixes the bugs reported by Stephane Eranian and a performance
bug from Sverre Jarp.  The Fortran90 routines to "getarg" and "iargc"
now work.  More of the Fortran90 wrappers to get to system information
are in place.

A number of other correctness and performance bugs have been fixed.

If you install this release on IA-64 boxes be sure to use the
"workaround-1.1.efi" from Intel.  It does not eliminate the spurious
segfaults but it does keep the system from freezing during compilation.
