hello,
 We have been trying to build the latest Binutils and GCC on a Unicos
platform (on a Cray J90), but we have not been successful.  We built the
GNU Make just fine, and used it to make binutils and GCC, but it does
not work.  The compiler we are using is the Cray C compiler (which might
be the source of the problem).

 We are wondering if any one has any suggestion on how we can attack
this problem. Our next effort will be to try to compile an older version
of GCC (maybe 1.XX) and use that as the compiler for the latest
versions.

Please feel free to email us at:
  Jeffrey_Tham@hotmail.com
  vahe@rocketmail.com

we appreciate any hints/suggestions,
 Jeff

This has been asked before.

Let me put this down *very* *very* *clearly*

EVEN  THOUGH  CONFIGURE  WILL  RECOGNISE  UNICOS,  THERE  IS  NO  WAY
TO  BUILD  THE  GNU C  COMPILER  ON  THE  CRAY  PVP  SYSTEMS,  BECAUSE
GCC  DOESN'T  HAVE  A  CLUE  HOW  TO  GENERATE  CODE  FOR  MACHINES
THAT  HAVE  NO  BYTE  ADDRESSABILITY.

Sorry for shouting.
