[gnu.gcc] Problems compiling X11R3 with gcc on a Sun 3

Help!

I've compiled X11R3 with gcc (version 1.32) with options -traditional -O
but when I start up Xsun, my xterm windows are black on black, as is every
other client program that runs on that display.  When I compile the server
with the standard SunOS C compiler, it works fine.  The client programs that
were compiled with gcc work fine (except for xclock -analog, which has a
previously reported, unrelated bug), and display just fine on Xsun servers
that were compiled with Sun CC.

I then tried compiling with gcc(1.32) without the optimization.  Same thing.
I then backed off to gcc version 1.30.  Same thing, with and without the -O
flag.  I then applied fix[1-7] from expo.  Still no luck.  I'm waiting until
I figure this out before applying the Purdue Speedups.

Currently I am running Xsun code compiled with the Sun CC, and everything
else is compiled with gcc (1.30) -traditional -O.

The compilation was done on a Sun 3/280 running SunOS 3.5.1, and the server
is running on a Sun 3/50 also running SunOS 3.5.1.

Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Please?
