[gnu.g++] installing g++.1.34.2

niermann@uicsgva.csg.uiuc.edu (04/19/89)

I am trying to install g++.1.34.2 on a sun3 os4. When I compile a program I always get an assembler syntax error on lines that look like these.
.stabs "___DTOR_LIST__",22,0,0,__GLOBAL_$D$main_c
.stabs "___CTOR_LIST__",22,0,0,__GLOBAL_$I$main_c

Does anyone know what I did not do while installing g++.

My guess is that __DTOR_LIST__ and __CTOR_LIST__ do something with global constructors and destructors and the assembler can not find the code for the memory allocation.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you read the HINTS file you'll see that you need to 

#define FASCIST_ASSEMBLER

in cplus-decl.c on most systems if you don't use the GNU gas assembler.

That should fix the problem.
