HP Catch 22

[Aaron Jackson]

On my second attempt to build egcs, I thought I would just build the egcs
core 971105 snapshot. The build finished, but gave a Bootstrap
comparison failure.  It would appear that all of the object files
differ (see below).  Is this a problem, as I remember from the gcc
readme that some systems fail during 'make compare'.  Which brings me to
the catch 22.  Duiring the build, the compiler was constantly issuing
warnings of the form:

cc1: warning: -g is only supported when using GAS on this processor,
cc1: warning: -g option disabled. 

I tried to build gas with no luck at all. A './configure ' gave me the
warning:

Configuring for a hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.01 host.
*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:
    ld
    (Any other directories should still work fine.)
and a 'make' gave me an error 1 stop.  Anyway, I'm going to remove all g
flags and try again to see if that makes a difference (at least it will
quiet the compiler!).
