[techtalk] gcc versions and bus error

[moebius at ip-solutions.net]

Hey Becky,
  I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly. Are you trying to run
programs that on a Sparc that you've compiled on an Intel. If so then yes
they are 2 different architectures and you would need to move just the
code file to the Sparc and then compile.
