RE: Problem with GCC

[Philippe DEFERT <philippe dot defert at cern dot ch>]

To use the GNU assembler, you generate binutils for HPUX and you take
the gas program that you copy as "as" in the gcc subdirectory of your
distribution. In addition, you configure with --with-gnu-as.

I only did use GNU as until now for all preceding versions (<= 3.0) and
for gcc 3.2 it failed with the same error messages as you get. May be I
am wrong as in our environment all is done automatically via perl
scripts but I doubt...

Amicalement.
