Compile fail on Fedora Core 4. The error seems to be the randomized sbrk. How can I avoid it?

Thanks Domenico

[#190 Compile fail on Fedora Core 4] (nuovo) --Camm Maguire,  Mon, 11 Jul 2005 22:00:52 -0500 reply

Greetings!  GCL works around RH's randomization of sbrk (an absolute
necessity) by making use of the sysctl i386 personality calls as done
in the setarch utility.  This works on FC2 and FC3.  It would be
helpful if you could discover why this apparently does not work in
FC4.  The failed tester program and output should be in the file
config.log.
Take care,

The same error appear compiling gcc-2.6.6 alone.
