gcc 2.95.2 gcc2.8.1 on m68k-motorola-sysv

[Beere, Chris]

Hello,
        I wanted to compile the groff package, but a C++ compiler is
necessay. I tried downloading 2.95.2 but ended up with an
"genattr: Internal compiler error in `read_rtx', at ../../src/gcc
-2.95.2/gcc/rtl.c:888". This was never solved. I downloaded gcc2.8.1 from
somewhere,and this built OK.This uses the old as /bin/as as the default
assembler. When trying 'configure' on groff it failed on a test because it
put '.section' statement in the as output which the old assembler does not
understand. I tried makeing gcc2.8.1 use gas instead but this complains
about assembler lines like

        cmp.b   %d1,&1

with

 Error: operands mismatch -- statement `cmp.b %d1,&1' ignored

How do I make gcc generate the correct assembler for gas? 

I have forgotten where I got gcc2.8.1 can you tell me where I can get it
from? Also any documentation in addition to the README/INSTALL files as I
have tried using --with-gnu-as to no avail. Any chance of been given
explicit instructions how to build gcc2.8.1 to generate correct gas output?

regards
