[comp.unix.aux] error compiling gnuplot

I am trying to install gnuplot 2.1 under A/UX 2.0. I am running a
Mac II with added PMU. When I perform make install, I get an
error from cc:

    Assembler: command.c
            aline 2104      : FMOV instruction has illegal operands

Could anybody give me a clue what is going on? Thanks.

I believe this error comes from a "bug" in the gcc you are using. The original
gcc port to A/UX could confuse a C variable and one of the register names.
Using a variable called PC could become very interesting... :-).

John Coolidge (I believe) corrected this, and his port is available on
wuarchive.wustl.edu. If memory serves me, you should retrieve the version of
gcc starting with an a (agcc-19....) -- the other is the stock gcc without the
fix.
