I have been having problems with GCC since version 1.29, on a Sun-2 running Sun OS 4.0. I'm fairly certain now that the problem is not actually in GCC, but is in the compiled version of gnulib that is created with the Sun C compiler. If you create GCC on a Sun-3 but using tm-sun2.h, you get a working compiler, and the .o files in the stage2 phase are identical to those on the Sun-2, but on the Sun-2 you get a broken compiler. And, if you move the Sun-2 version of gnulib to the Sun-3 and use it to build the compiler, it no longer works. At the moment I don't have time to investigate this further, but I'd like to warn anyone else using a Sun-2 about this problem, and also am interested in hearing if others see it on their systems. -- Joe Weening Computer Science Dept. weening@Gang-of-Four.Stanford.EDU Stanford University
