I finally succeeded at getting a complete build
on a Dec Alpha (alpha-dec-osf4.0d), doing a
"configure --with-stabs --prefix=$LOC" and a
"make bootstrap" followed by "make install".
Here is what I found:
1. This build requires you to use Gnu make. You
can't use the OSF make. This is new; the OSF
make was fine for gcc-2.8.x builds and was also
fine for the egcs-1.0.3a build. Since this is
a new situation, I'd suggest that a comment
suggesting use of Gnu make be placed in the
egcs installation notes.
2. For some reason "make install" is trying to
put something in /usr/local (and failing,
since I'm not running as root). I find this
odd given the configure options I used.
I'm not sure yet what or why; I'll pass along
more details if/when I figure it out.
3. I ran dejagnu-980528 on the result of this
egcs build; it spotted a couple of things that
unexpectedly failed and many that unexpectedly
succeeded. I haven't used dejagnu before, so
once I figure out how to tease out some specific
details, I'll pass them along.
Now I can actually get down to seeing if the new g++
can do anything interesting! :-)
