I, too, would like help in putting up GNU gcc on an Apollo.
Has anyone out there done it?
P.S. I posted a similar note a week ago or so but haven't heard
anything since. I'm assuming that it got lost somewhere, or,
horrors, no one has done it....
Anyway, I thought I'd ask again...

I've ported all of the GNU compiler tools to the Apollo. However, there is a catch. The compiler is not useful at the time. There is this problem with coff. I've been toying with the idea of hacking GAS to produce Apollo coff format .o's but haven't had the spare time to dive in just yet. The other problem is gld. I assume however that hacks to gld may not be required if the native Apollo loader can be used. I'm not sure about this though. I do have a working cpp (which I used to replace Apollo's cpp), and other useful tools. We have a real interest in getting GAS to generate coff since it would allow us to run some experiments that we cannot presently do on the Apollos as we don't have an SR10.1 assembler and we can't change the source to make it C, or something. I also would like to avoid rewriting the assembler code so that Apollo's assembler can make heads or tails of it.
