RE: Bootstrap failure: cxxmain.c:930: syntax error before `('

["Kenneth Block" <block at zk3 dot dec dot com>]

Ok, looks like DEFUN is obsolete and intentionally not defined when building
GCC. I tested this patch in both binutils and gdb, but never in GCC, so I
did not see this. Sorry about that. I'll make sure to test with GCC also in
the future. Here is a fix:

Ahem, the tree is getting extremely fragile this week. :-(

I believe the following patch

   2000-11-15  Kenneth Block  <kenneth.block@compaq.com>

        * cplus_dem.c: Add gnat demangler.  Add java to demangle style
        list.

installed by H-P is responsible for the following bootstrap failure
on i386-unknown-freebsd4.1 and sparc-sun-solaris2.6.

        * cplus_dem.c: Eliminate use of DEFUN, it is obsolete and cannot
	be used in GCC.
