I have unsuccessfully been trying to get g++ installed on a Convex 220 for some time. I suppose I haven't searched hard enough and tried enough things, but I can't get the FASCIST_ASSEMBLER definition to do any good (appearently). A different solution would be to get gas running on the Convex. I heard it has been done. There is the problem, though, that Convex uses COFF format and I don't imagine I could easily train gas to produce this format. Any suggestions? Is there a COFF producing gas for the Convex? Thanks, Daniel Pommert. pommert@uiuc.edu

I don't remember if the assignments for gas were ever given back to the FSF however. > Any suggestions? Is there a COFF producing gas for the Convex? One nit; Convex uses 'SOFF' format executables, not COFF. A few of the structure names are changed, amoung other things. If my memory serves, the only GNU utility not running on the Convex is the loader.
