[gnu.gcc.bug] gcc on a stock ATT System V Unix

cracraft@wheaties.ai.mit.edu (Stuart Cracraft) (04/11/89)

Hi,

This letter describes my experiences with GNU CC ("gcc")
on a stock ATT System V/386 machine (Toshiba 5100).

The system compiler is a pcc-derivative. Compilation
succeeded with the first Make (as described in INSTALL).

However, upon doing:

	make CC=stage1/gcc CFLAGS="-g -O -Bstage1/" c-parse.tab.c

... the make failed. The symptom of the failure is a lot
of disk accesses, maybe a lot of compiler temporary-file
work, and just an infinite suspension of belief.

This also happens when including "-msoft-float" in the
command line above. The same symtpoms occur (as described
in the previous paragraph). To the best of my knowledge, this
system does not have a floating point chip assist.

This is to confirm the pleasant arrival (perhaps not the first!) 
of GNU CC (a.k.a. "gcc") on a Toshiba 5100 laptop running its
standard os (a stock ATT System V Unix, Release 3.0).

The baby arrived at 9:40pm, Saturday April 15. Zero pounds. There
were three stages to the delivery, with the final stage seeing the
baby deliver itself.
