    I am interested in building many of the Gnu commands on a DECsystem
5000, such as gcc, g++, groff, etc.  We are presently running emacs and gawk.
I have a few questions.  

1. We are running Ultrix 4.1 still, and expect to go directly to 4.2a after
the tape arrives.  If I build these packages under 4.1, will they have to be
rebuilt under 4.2a?

2. Will the generic versions (those at prep.ai.mit.edu) build under Ultrix,
or will I need to go somewhere else to get "Ultrix" versions?

3. What hints/tricks are needed for DEC RISC platforms in building the GNU 
products?

Thanks for your replies (in advance).
