I have been attempting to build an ansi c compiler on a new DECstation
5000 at work, and have had no luck at all.  I downloaded gcc-2.2.2 from
the net, and tried to build it according to directions in the INSTALL
file, but received error messages from `ar` saying there was a badly
formed archive (no 68).  Any clues as to why this happened?  (I know
that this package compiles just fine on a DEC 5000, because we have one
at UNL and the same package compiled with no problems there.)  I am at a
loss as to why I am unable to build this.  Also, should the compiler on
a new (brand new) machine running ULTRIX4.3 be ansi compliant?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
