[comp.sys.tahoe] Is gcc available for tahoe architecture?

bbadger@x102c.harris-atd.com (Badger BA 64810) (07/06/89)

We have a Harris HCX-9 computer, also known as a Tahoe, and we'd like to 
get gcc and g++ up and running.  I haven't seen anything refering to 
the HCX or any Tahoe machines in the gcc distribution.  Anyone have it?
Working on it?  Pointers to who might?  Know if Berkely cc/ld/asm is PD?

I ``stole'' the following informative blurb from a comp.unix.questions article:
(Note: Tahoe, as in ``4.3BSD-tahoe'', refers to a series of machines 
manufactured by CCI [1], Harris [2], Sperry [3], and ICL [4] which were at some
point called `Tahoe' machines.

[1] Computer Consoles Inc., headquartered in New York state, USA, Earth,
    Sol system, Outer Spiral Arm, Milky Way galaxy, Andromeda cluster.
    I am not aware of their UniversPost zipcode polymer pattern.  The
    CCI Power-6/32 was the first Tahoe machine.
[2] The Harris HCX-7 and HCX-9 are Tahoes.  Harris is also an east coast
    manufacturer, if I recall correctly.  The HCX-9 uses a VMEbus instead
    of a VERSAbus.
[3] What Sperry's name for their Tahoe is I do not know.  Sperry is the
    name for the result of the merge of Burroughs and Sperry Univac.
    This, too, is an east cost manufacturer.
[4] I know not what ICL stands for, nor what their names may be for their
    Tahoe machines.  They are, however, a UK manufacturer.)

We have a HCX-9 with the HCX/UX operating system. I have gcc running and an
older version of g++ (.1.32).

The tahoe port was done by Devon Bowen at University of Buffalo. I modified
(and improved) these for the HCX.

For g++ I did some modification to collect.c (I have not done the GNU ld).
You can have my HCX files, if you want.

Just a legal note here (like you're all not tired enough of this)... we
turned the copyrights to the Unix Tahoe config files over to RMS a month
or two ago. So these files aren't distributable without the copyleft
attached (assuming that's what RMS wants). Not that I care, but I thought
I'd mention it.

It's my understanding that these files will be released in 1.36 which
should be out soon.

Now, it turns out that someone else here at Harris has already
down-loaded gcc-1.35.92.tar.Z which includes tahoe support, from
yahi.stanford.edu (36.83.0.92).  We have it for ftp at

trantor.harris-atd.com 26.13.0.98 130.41.0.1 26.134.0.98

I'm trying to compile it now.  You can run ``config.gcc tahoe'' to get 
started.

That's odd. I just ftped part of this file (the connection is slow) from
your site and looked at the tm-tahoe.h file and that is the file done here.
Where did you hear (or see) it was yahi.stanford.edu? Is someone mixing
distribution files? Does anyone know what work has been done at Stanford
or have a name of someone I can get ahold of there? Thanks.
