I was thinking about using gcc as a cross compiler for systems using Intel 8086 and 80286 , does anybody have the machine description stuff for these processors ? -- Tim Murnaghan (tpm@datlog.co.uk) Data Logic Ltd., Queens House, Greenhill Way, Harrow, Middx., HA1 1YR, UK.

There are several problems that I can identify. It may be that all you need to do to the machine description is to delete the 80386 commands that are not present in the 8086, but I am not certain. It would be necessary to provide your own run-time library. You would need a linker that generates an .exe executable file, since the Unix format would not work. I think this project is achievable, but is not a simple matter. It would be interesting to try to compile gcc into 8086 code, resulting in a native gcc compiler for messy-Dos. -David- > >-- >Tim Murnaghan (tpm@datlog.co.uk) >Data Logic Ltd., Queens House, Greenhill Way, Harrow, Middx., HA1 1YR, UK. > Bitnet: david@wubios.wustl ^ Mr. David J.
