Re: Ada on Ultra2/Ultra10

["Jeff Creem" <jeff@thecreems.com>]

I would say the most likely reason is that the two machines have somewhat
different libraries that are getting linked in. I do not expect that the
compiler
itself is producing any different code (unless you were to change switches).
Try just re-doing the a.ld on the Ultra 10 after doing the rest of the make
on the
ultra 1.

Also, poke around in /usr/lib and I suspect you will find libraries of
different
sizes (either due to patches on one machine v.s. the other or architecture
specific libraries).
