Title: [Q] cross-compile gmp lib for powerpc on Solaris

I am trying to compile the gmp lib for powerpc 860 / VxWorks on Solaris.  Got a few questions

Q1: What is the minimual version of gcc for powerpc support (I use egcs-2.91.66)?

Q2: How to setup gcc for cross-compilation?  I tried configure --target=powerpc-wvr-vxworks
      but the compiler reported the following errors for assemble files:

gcc -O2 -c -g -O add_n.s
add_n.s: Assembler messages:
add_n.s:29: Error: Unknown pseudo-op:  `.toc'
add_n.s:32: Error: Unknown pseudo-op:  `.csect'
add_n.s:36: Error: Unknown pseudo-op:  `.csect'
add_n.s:38: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `['.
add_n.s:39: Error: Unknown pseudo-op:  `.csect'
add_n.s:41: Error: Unknown opcode: `mtctr'
add_n.s:42: Error: Unknown opcode: `lwz'
... ... ...

     source code:

        .toc
        .extern __mpn_add_n[DS]
        .extern .__mpn_add_n
.csect [PR]
        .align 2
        .globl __mpn_add_n
        .globl .__mpn_add_n
        .csect __mpn_add_n[DS]
__mpn_add_n:
        .long .__mpn_add_n, TOC[tc0], 0
        .csect [PR]
.__mpn_add_n:
        mtctr   6               # copy size into CTR
        lwz     8,0(4)          # load least significant s1 limb
 ... ... ...

could somebody help me?   thanks
