problems building egcs-1.0.2 on sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1

[Michael Anthony Riepe <riepe at eecs dot umich dot edu>]

Howdy,

I was able to build and install egcs-1.0.2 on the sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1
platform, but only after dealing with two problems.  (I also had the
same problems with the 1.0.1 release, and they don't seem to have been
fixed.)

1) I was not able to bootstrap egcs with the --enable-haifa configure
option (now the default, I see).  I had a comparison failure between two
of the stages (I can send you the complete build log if you want).  If I
configure with --disable-haifa I am able to build with no problems.

2) when I try to do a "make install" I get the following errors:

	Making info file `gcc.info' from `../../egcs-1.0.2/gcc/gcc.texi'.
	make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `f/intdoc.c'
	Current working directory /u/users/riepe/temp/egcs-objdir/gcc
	*** Error code 1
	make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-gcc'

I had to do the following from within the objdir/gcc/f directory before
the install would complete successfully (../../../egcs-1.0.2 is the
srcdir).

	bane% ln -s ../../../egcs-1.0.2/gcc/f/*.c .
	bane% ln -s ../../../egcs-1.0.2/gcc/f/*.h .
	bane% ln -s ../../../egcs-1.0.2/gcc/f/*.def .
	bane% ln -s ../../../egcs-1.0.2/gcc/f/*.in .

These look like false dependencies in the makefile to me.  I don't know
why they would be required for the install.

If you need any more information about these problems, or if you need me
to do some more detective work, please let me know.

thanks a lot!
