Re: Trying to use gas in building gcc-20010115

[James Overly <joverly at head-cfa dot harvard dot edu>]

Hi -

I was able to get gas to work by wrapping it with a simple script.
I renamed gas (as to as-new and called the following script as:

#! /bin/sh
GAS_FLAGS=""
for AS_VAR in $*
do
   if  [ "$AS_VAR" != "-O0" ]
   then
        GAS_FLAGS=$GAS_FLAGS" $AS_VAR"
   fi
done
\as-new $GAS_FLAGS

I still have no idea why -O0 is being passed to gas or why gas dislikes
it and the alpha as accepts it. Anyway this seems to work however I
don't know what side effects it might cause.
