Error description

  • Stabstrings generated for arrays bounded by a static value are
    invalid.  This may cause problems while debugging, or errors
    when compiling with -bstabcmpct:2.  Errors seen in the
    linker -bloadmap output may be similar to the following
    examples:
    
    ---------------------------------
    ld: 0711-377 STABSTRING ERROR:
           Symbol table entry 71, object file test.o

             Remainder of stabstring is:

    ld: 0711-385 STABSTRING ERROR:
           Symbol table entry 669, object file f_xxdlm_driv.o
      Integer expected.
      Character _ seen.
      Remainder of stabstring is:

    The issue is seen with both Fortran and C/C++ source.
