That's the best it could give you; that message is the "cc" command's cryptic way of telling you that the compiler pass whose binary is in /lib/ccom got a signal and dumped core/MOS. "cc" should dump the signal name (NOT number) and an indication of whether core was dumped or not. At least that would give the poor user a bit better indication of what went wrong, and might help a little bit in debugging the compiler. Guy Harris
