We would need the exact message.  Otherwise we're just fumbling in the dark.
Note that other folks have managed to build gcc-2.95.1 on Stunos, so it
*should* just work.


 cc complains about unroll.c:

This sounds like a bug in either "cc" or "as" on your system.  But there's
no way to be sure without seeing the contents of the generated assembly code.
