[alt.sources] Gas coff patches

Hi,

	I was trying out the gas patches you posted. According to your
right up they should compile without any problems under SCO ODT. I patched
the files that I have and tried running make. While compiling as.c the
compiler started giving error messages that OMAGIC and N_ABS were 
multiplydefined. It turns out that the problem is created by the new include
file "oformat.h" required by the patch. When I try to get around the problem;
something else breaks and so on and so forth....Have you missed something 
out for SCO ODT?....Please let me know. I have got most of the gnu stuff:
gcc, bison,flex, gas1.36(without the coff patches) compiled under SCO UNIX.
I have also compiled the g++1.37.2 version....but it looks like the coff
patches are required for the ld to behave properly.

Thanks,

Raghu
