>Description:
I am trying to get gcc 3.2.2 to compile on sunos 4.1.4.

The last version to successfully compile (with some
minor hacks) was gcc 2.95.3.  Every gcc 3 release
since then fails to compile the c++ compiler with the
following error:


/local/dev/build/buildgcc322/gcc/xgcc -B/local/dev/build/buildgcc322/gcc/ -B/opt/local/stow/gcc-3.2.2/sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4/bin/ -B/opt/local/stow/gcc-3.2.2/sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4/lib/ -isystem /opt/local/stow/gcc-3.2.2/sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../../gcc-3.2.2/libstdc++-v3/libmath -I.. -O2 -O -c ../../../../gcc-3.2.2/libstdc++-v3/libmath/signbit.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/signbit.o

I get about one email every few weeks now from other
people trying to build gcc on sunos4 so it is still a
platform that is in use..  I can make accounts available
on the box to anyone who is interested in looking at
this..  i realise it is a very low priority.  the error has
been discussed before and i understand that it is 
basically that sunos4 is missing some header
information that would have to be ported back to it from
a more modern OS to make this compile (?)
