built gcc 2.95 on i386-pc-bsdi3.1

[Roderik Muit]

A note, as requested on http://egcs.cygnus.com/install/finalinstall.html:

I successfully built _most of_ gcc 2.95 on a i386-pc-bsdi3.1 system;
built with --enable-languages=c++,objc,f77,java, i.e. no CHILL.


(The first time I tried, I left out --enable-languages, an error was
generated while compiling libchill/format.c.

I do not have all details of the error and do not know much about the
gcc compilation process, sorry. Here follows what I remember looking
at some 2 hours ago, in case you're interested:

I know some xgcc was compiling libchill/format.c but I don't know in
which stage. The error produced was "illegal assembly instruction"
(or something like that) - the illegal instruction which made was 
"filds (%SOMETHING)" (where I don't remember what SOMETHING was.)
As far as I know I was using gas 2.9.1 as assembler, not the BSDI
standard one. I looked through the configure process and saw that it
was apparently setting HAVE_GAS_FILDS_FISTS. I don't know what's
incorrect here since I know nothing about assembly.

If you're really interested in the exact error I can try building it
again...  )


Thanks for GCC!

Roderik.
