- jmillikin 4y agoThis was on a DEC Tru64 system, very far from any sort of Linux. My personal suspicion is that someone (student or faculty) got their hands on a CVS snapshot and installed it system wide. That's the only explanation I can think of for it being so broken.
- alternatetwo 4y agoFairly sure some PS2 SDKs also shipped GCC 2.96, which is why I know this tidbit of info.
