[techtalk] gcc versions and bus error

I think it may be both... when I would write programs at home on my
linux RH6.0 box and then put them on the eecs hp-ux boxes, I'd get
compile errors. If I put the binaries on the hp-ux boxes from my RH box,
I'd get segfaults and things like bus errors.

You might have to modify the code, I was caught in a couple of instances
where I did. The header/includes may be different across different
versions of gcc and different OS's (OS'? OSes?), I don't know enough
about specifics to pinpoint it. I know I never turned in a program
without testing it on the hp-ux first (now they're switched to redhat,
though, so I would have had it made had I taken the course a year
later).
