Building G++ 1.34.2 on a Sun 386 has found a bug in the Sun assembler that cplus-parse.tab.c runs afoul of. GCC creates a .file directive of: .file "cplus-parse.tab.c" The Sun as claims this is too long. Sun cc truncates the .file directive: .file "us-parse.tar.c" Apparently the Sun as restricts file names to 14 characters, perhaps a imported restriction from System V. This bug is not really a GNU bug, but it would be nice if all file names were kept under 14 characters, so those of us who occasionally use S V machines would have an easier time of it.
