PATCH: gcc/install.texi and hppa*-*-*/HPUX


This is not really up-to-date and we have more detailed and more
up-to-date instructions at <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html>.

Okay to install?

- @item hppa*-*-*
- There are several variants of the HP-PA processor which run a variety
- of operating systems.  GNU CC must be configured to use the correct
- processor type and operating system, or GNU CC will not function correctly.
- The easiest way to handle this problem is to @emph{not} specify a target
- when configuring GNU CC, the @file{configure} script will try to automatically
- determine the right processor type and operating system.
-
- @samp{-g} does not work on HP-UX, since that system uses a peculiar
- debugging format which GNU CC does not know about.  However, @samp{-g}
- will work if you also use GAS and GDB in conjunction with GCC.  We
- highly recommend using GAS for all HP-PA configurations.
-
- You should be using GAS-2.6 (or later) along with GDB-4.16 (or later).  These
- can be retrieved from all the traditional GNU ftp archive sites.
-
- On some versions of HP-UX, you will need to install GNU @file{sed}.
-
- You will need to be install GAS into a directory before @code{/bin},
- @code{/usr/bin}, and @code{/usr/ccs/bin} in your search path.  You
- should install GAS before you build GNU CC.
-
- To enable debugging, you must configure GNU CC with the @samp{--with-gnu-as}
- option before building.

  @item i370-*-*
  This port is very preliminary and has many known bugs.  We hope to
  have a higher-quality port for this machine soon.
