[gnu.gcc] ld.c on ENCORE NS32332

woodman@sumax.UUCP (David Woodman) (12/01/89)

  First I want to thank all who responded to my inquiries about
 gcc installation on an ENCORE. That problem is solved now I
 have another. The Encore Multimax (NS32332 running BSD 4.3)
 uses COFF and ld.c dies with 'COFF_MAGIC undefined'
 I located the only definitions for COFF_MAGIC in a.out.encap.h
 and those are for m68k and i386.  Hmmm, am I missing something
 here?  /usr/include/* had nothing on COFF_MAGIC.
 Thanks,  DW

P.S.   GAS does not like output from GCC, it complains about
       not understanding the -j flag. I have not looked into 
       the docs yet (one problem at a time). Anyone have a
       quick solution to this one?

 I found the magic number on Encore Multimax (NS32332 running BSD 4.3),
 it is 0413, now,  what is the -j flag put out by GCC that GAS does
 not understand?

The -j option instructs our Multimax as to use 32-bit branch
displacements instead of 16-bit ones.  With any luck GAS doesn't need
this.

This indicates that you may have another problem; I think that the GCC
configuration for the Multimax changes the assembler output to match
our syntax which may not be accepted by GAS.
