RE: Compilation problem in Dynix/ptx

[biswapesh dot chattopadhyay at bt dot com]

Thanks Robert - see my previous post - I *did* configure with --with-gnu-as
--with-gnu-ld - the problem was solved when I moved as to gas, according to
a previous message on the ML.

Basically three patches need to be made to compile 2.95.2 succesfully (c and
c++) on Dynix/ptx V4.4.8 i386:

a) This problem with as (needs to have a better fix)
b) The problem of s_sys_siglist not being defined (needs better patch than
NO_SYS_SIGLIST in config.h ?)
c) The patch in gcc/cp/class.c as detailed in
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2000-06/msg00088.html .

I'll try and compile a recent snapshot and see what I get.

Thanks for your help.
Biswa.
