Problem building g77 configured with gnu as and ld

[Bud Davis]

suggestions:

make sure you are using gnu make.  what i usually do
is 'alias make gmake' in my .cshrc file.

you shouldn't need gmp and mpfr.  g77 and c don't need
them.

i would suggest you build the simplest first, then
build with the gnu assembler and linker.  gcc / g77
should make with the SGI C compiler or gcc:

../bin/configure --prefix=~testgcc/bin
--enable-languages =c,f77

should make a workable compiler; which is not what you
want but it will make the problem space a little
smaller to start with.

during the 3.4.6 time SGI was an actively supported
platform; what you are attempting should work.  g77
changed very little between 3.2 and 3.4; so you might
try an older source release and see if it 'magically'
builds easier....the older one may work fine.

HTH,
