I first started using gcc at 1.34 and have expected that someone would fix the INSTALL file before this. The problem is that the example shell script given to compare the output of stage 1 and stage 2 does an extremely poor job of comparing the .o files. Here is that script: for file in *.o; do echo $file tail +10 $file >foo1 tail +10 stage2/$file >foo2 cmp foo1 foo2 rm foo1 foo2 done This looks for the 10th newline in the file and then starts comparing. This might generate an output file that has no characters in it. The correction is simple. Change the +10 into a +9c so that the first 9 characters are skipped. This is the corrected script: for file in *.o; do echo $file tail +9c $file >foo1 tail +9c stage2/$file >foo2 cmp foo1 foo2 rm foo1 foo2 done Apart from this GCC 1.37 updated perfectly on my SYS V 386 system.
