gcc 3.4.6 asm charset error

[Paul Edwards]

GCC 3.4.6 is the last version of GCC that
supports the i370 target that I use.

Last time I tried adding the i370 target
from GCC 3.4.6 to GCC 4.x I got errors
that I don't know how to fix.

Actually GCC 3.4.6 also has errors which
I don't know how to fix, so I normally
use GCC 3.2.3.

I hope one day someone with the
required technical skills will volunteer
to fix the remaining problems with
GCC on MVS, and i370 will be a target
once again in the latest GCC, but
no-one has volunteered to clean it
up for more than a decade.

BFN. Paul.

Does it work better with a GCC version that is less than ten years old?
