[Sorry for posting this on a epoch list, someone please show me the
 address of the emacs list...]

I'm trying to build emacs (not epoch) for a DECstation 3100 running
Ultrix 4.2.  In src/config.h I have

#include "s-bsd4-2.h"

and

#include "m-vax.h"

but then when it trys to compile crt0.c, we have the following errors:

# cc -c -Demacs     crt0.c
ccom: Error: crt0.c, line 194: syntax error
      asm("     .text           ");
      ----^
ccom: Error: crt0.c, line 195: syntax error
      asm("     .globl start    ");
      ----^
ccom: Error: crt0.c, line 196: syntax error
      asm("     start:          ");
      ----^
(ccom): crt0.c, line 196: cannot recover from earlier errors: goodbye!
      asm("     start:          ");
      ----------------------------^

Looks like this C compiler doesn't have asm().

Can someone please point out what's the problem here?  Thanks.

The "s-bsd4-2.h" was OK, but if you really have a DECstation 3100 and
not a VAXstation of some type, then it is NOT a VAX system.  It is a
MIPS system.  Therefore, use the machine file header "m-mips.h" and
the types of problems you described should go away.
