[gnu.gcc.bug] GNU C Compiler 1.35 and Sys V.2

gis@datalogic.co.uk (Ian Stewartson) (10/17/89)

We are trying to build the GNU C Compiler from the 1.35 version sources
under AT&T System V.2.1 on a Vax 11/750 and have come across 3 problems.

On the first stage build, the compilation of stor-layout.c fails at
line 359.  The compiler cannot process the expression because it is too
complex.  We solved this by spliting it into two parts.

When building gnulib2, the compilation of _div_internal.c fails because the
file name is greater than 14 characters.

On the second stage build (re-building GNU CC by itself), the gen???? functions
all fail and exit with an code of 33 without writing out the correct
information to stdout.  We have not been able to discover what causes this
problem.  At present, we have resolved it by using the include/C files
generated from the first stage.

Any help would be gratefully received.
