Hi,
  I am trying to build egcs-1.1b on an IBM RS/6000-397(Power2 / MCA)
system running AIX 4.2.1.
  I am using GNU make 3.77.
  The only thing in /usr/local is GNU make.

Environment:
  /tmp/Compile
  /tmp/Compile/Build
  /tmp/Compile/egcs-1.1b

Command Sequence:
  cd /tmp/Compile/Build
  ../egcs-1.1b/configure
  make bootstrap
  make -k check
  make install

Problem:
  How can I tell if the build was OK!
  The following is the Summary section of the
"check" output.


                === libio Summary ===

# of expected passes            40

                === libstdc++ Summary ===

# of expected passes            30

                === gcc Summary ===

# of expected passes            7475
# of unexpected failures        21
# of expected failures          7

                === g++ Summary ===

********************************************************
  I encountered another problem while trying to build
egcs-1.1b when trying to use the --with-cpu= option
during the "configure" phase.  If I used "power"
I got through the "configure" step, but it failed in
the compliation phase telling me that "maskir" is not
part of the "COM" instruction set, which is correct.
However; since I specified "power" it should not
be trying to use the "COM" instruction set.  At first
I though maybe the problem could be associated with 
the parameter that I was passing so I decided to try using
the parameter that the IBM C compiler expects.
That is; "com", "pwr", "pwr2", "ppc", etc..  When
I tried using a couple of these values I could not
get through the "configure" process. I believe that
the error message was: unknow parameter.
