I have just about finished compiling gcc on a masscomp 5500-PEP running 4.1a with c compiler version 1.4 Ok it could still be a while, but it looks good. GCC, stage1 produced assembler code last night but with instructions of the form 'movel' rather than the desired 'move.l'. This is a simple change in the main header but everything has to be recompiled now. I have had to hack up the source in a number of places where the concurrent c compiler hemorrhaged. ( F(999): codegen ... something about access to an unallocated RHS ..., in a section of nonreachable code!!!). Anyone interested in gcc? A number of nonreachable code sections had to be commented out of the source making the result hard to merge into the standard release. My preferred form of release would involve the following: 1) tar file of original code with modification to accept masscomp configure options. 2) tar file of original code modified for concurrent compiler. 3) tar file with executable code. This allows the use of 3) and 1) to make your own, or use 2) to make your own, or just take 3). These would be made available at an FTP site. How many people are still using the 68020 based hardware and would be interested in this? Send email. Mention if you want to try the alpha version, it may take a while to get a clean release. Support for 68881, but not the other floating point hardware. Notes: 1) The concurrent C compiler does not support bit fields with enumerated types. 2) A number of overuse of register warning messages were generated. 3) Warnings on = and == used between enumerated types and ints. 4) Configuration created from a combination of others may include some no applicable options. No promises but it looks like it will all work, real soon now. If anyone else has done this already, can I see what you have done.
