I guess I omitted the real reason for doing this. I need to get "gprof"
up and running. Since "gprof" can't handle the Extended-COFF
format of Ultrix 4.2, I have to use a medley of COFF- and risc- enhanced
GNU tools (gcc/gas/gld), and then convert all my .o (and .a) files so
that it can handle it. This is why I hadn't tried gcc 2.0 before.

I have recieved E-mail telling me the location of a newer version of
gprof, I'll have to try that.  I've also gotten gcc 2.0, and will
start work on that, too.

I may be back-
