[comp.sys.sun] Gcc, X11R4, and old SunOs - Thanks

Thanks for all the reponses to my question about getting X11R4 running
under SunOS 3.2. Most of the answers contained incorrect information,
however, which I would like to correct: you do not need gas or bison to
compile or use gcc, at least not if you stick to the standard
configuration.  If you 'make World' in X there is one file
(mit/server/ddx/cfb/cfbtegblt.c) that fails if you use gcc 1.37 - if you
then compile that by hand using cc and restart make (without the 'World')
everything works. I suppose it's remotely possible that having gas would
allow this file to compile, but IKFDI.  Apologies if this was posted to
the wrong newsgroup.
