Archive-name: auto/comp.sys.3b1/gcc-1-41-again

I added the missing bits to the gcc-1.41 subdictory of pub/3b1 on
ftp.cs.caltech.edu.  You still have to link the binaries yourself,
but you now have everything needed to make gcc 1.41.  Convergent
users may be able to take advantage of this as well.

Why use gcc 1.41 rather than 2.2.2?  For one, cc1 is about 225k
smaller (at least the 1.40 version was), and the 3b1 is memory-
limited.  Gcc 1.41 probably is more stable; gcc 1.x is being
maintained but not extended.  Gcc 2.x is beta software, and is
being enhanced (though it seems that RISC machines are the ones
that really benefit).

I use gcc 2.2.2, but as a cross-compiler running on a Sparcstation.
I rarely compile anything on my 3b1 these days.

Just so that you know what would be involved, here are the instruction
from the README file.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

First, you need to make libgcc.a.  This is because gcc 1.41 was cross-
compiled with gcc 2.2.2.  Libgcc.a in gcc 2.2.2 corresponds to gnulib
in gcc 1.41.  You *must* use "cc" below, not "gcc".

	gnutar Zxf libgcc1.tar.Z
	cc -O -c *.c
	gnutar Zxf libgcc2.tar.Z
	ar cr libgcc.a *.o
	rm *.o *.c

Now, the gcc binaries.  You can link these however you like, for example,
with "ld" directly, "shcc", "gcc -shlib".

	gnutar Zxf cpp.tar.Z
	cc -o gcc-cpp *.o libgcc.a
	rm *.o
	gnutar Zxf cc1.tar.Z
	cc -o gcc-cc1 *.o libgcc.a
	rm *.o
	gnutar Zxf as.tar.Z
	cc -o gcc-as *.o libgcc.a
	rm *.o
	gnutar Zxf gcc.tar.Z
	cc -o gcc *.o libgcc.a.
	rm *.o

Finally, make gnulib.  The files in gnulib1, like those in libgcc1, must
be compiled with cc.  Those in gnulib2 can be compiled with gcc.

	gnutar Zxf gnulib1.tar.Z
	cc -O -c *.c
	rm *.c
	gnutar Zxf gnulib2.tar.Z
	./gcc -B./ -O -fstrength-reduce -c *.c
	rm *.c
	ar cr gcc-gnulib *.o
	rm *.o

All that's left is to install everything.

	cp gcc-cpp gcc-cc1 gcc-as gcc-gnulib /usr/local/lib/
	cp gcc /usr/local/bin/
	gnutar Zxf include.tar.Z
	mkdir /usr/local/lib/gcc-include
	cp *.h /usr/local/lib/gcc-include
	rm *.h
