Has anyone ported gcc to the AT&T 3B2 line? Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Don't we wish!!! I asked that question a few months ago, and all I got was a few replies that some people started working on a port, but never got around to finishing it. Actually, I've been meaning to give it a try, but I'm not experienced in compiles, but I am taking a compiler design class right now. But anyway, I really would like to see gcc for the 3B2, so if there is sufficient interest, I suggest that we get a group of people together to work on a port to the WE32000 processor. C'mon, it can't possibly be THAT hard!! -greg -- Gregory A. Gulik greg@gagme.chi.il.us || ...!gagme!greg || gulik@depaul.edu

I was tempted to leave this followed-up to gnu.gcc, but every time anyone talks about these kinds of things there, rms gets upset. Besides, it won't do much good anyway, unless someone has a few spare 3b2's for FSF to make it worth their while to discuss these matters.

C'mon, it can't possibly > be THAT hard!! It's not compilers, nor the we32000, which are hard to understand (the we32000 is actually a piece of cake for a compiler writer). I have to use GNU cpp (cccp, 1.35) to process a library. It works fine on our 3b1's and 386 at work, but I can't get it to even touch my stdio.h, which is mostly the same as the one on the 386, especially on the lines it's blowing up on. I.e. it's the GNU code which is hard to work with. In some ways it's OK, but when you come up against something rms hasn't, you could be in for a long haul. I'm still hoping to make it to the Anehiem Usenix/90 for the GCC tutorial, supposedly to be taught by rms, but funding and free time are hard to come by these days. -- Greg A.
