Thank you for the advice. Yes, I am using Amber7 with efc7.0 on Red Hat
Linux. I have tried modifying Machine.nec_tx for my hp workstation
zx2000 (Red Hat Linux/Itanium2/efc-ecc), but got the same result (chokes
on Run.cap as on a few others). I instead tried compiling with -O2
wherever the option was -O3 and it worked perfectly! I therefore still
suspect this to be a bug in the efc. Thank you for the help all the
same. (Perhaps this info should be put up somewhere for
Itanium2/Linux/efc users?)
