   I have built GCC 2.2.2 on HPUX 8.02 on a HP9000-827. I have
   managed to get a clean compile (stage1 stage2 stage3 and compare)
   by playing some game. I have found two bugs in the assembly
   code generated by the compiler.

   The following program crashes with an illegal instruction trap:

   int main()
   {
	   float a=0;
	   a = a + 1;
   }

   The module enquire.c which generate float.h crash this way.
   On the other hand, change float for double and all goes right.
   So I rebuild the compiler, adding on the command line
   "-Dfloat=double". Then I got a clean compile.

You may have configured gcc to generate code for a pa-risc 1.1
machine. Did you configure using "configure hppa1.0-hpux"?

   I start to compile a large CAD project, thinking that this
   bug could be solve later (converting every float to double).

   Doing so, after compiling a lot of code, I got another
   problem. This time, it was flag by the assembler. It is related
   to the number of parameter when generating the beginning of a function.
   It generates and .export assembly statement:

     Argument 1 or 3 in FARG upper
	   - lookahead = ARGW4=FR,RTNVAL=GR
 
Again, this is a symptom of configuration problem. Make sure you are
configured for hppa1.0.
