Aucbvax.4071 net.2bsd-bugs utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!dist2 Sat Sep 26 23:51:15 1981 FIXED: bug in the diff'' Makefile In attempting to make diff, there is a bad flag, -d2, to the loader. Apparently this means something on the VAX, but not on an 11.

Right. This is a flag to the VAX assembler which specifies the number of bytes to be assembled for offsets which involve forward or external references. It should be deleted from the ``diff'' Makefile:

diff src/diff/Makefile.old src/diff/Makefile: 5c5 CFLAGS= -O -DDIFF='"${DIFF}"' -DDIFFH='"${DIFFH}"' -DPR='"${PR}"'

This fix should be applied to all tapes made before 9/27/81.
