   I just recently retrieved the gcc-2.3.2-2.3.3 patch.  In case you have
   forgotten I am the guy who had some problems building gcc-2.3.2 on SCO
   UNIX 3.2v4.  The new patch is great.  I have only one minor problem to
   report.  The default CFLAGS for the bootstrap compile contains a '-g'
   to enable debugging.  This caused the Microsoft C compiler to become
   confused.  It somehow thought it was compiling Xenix code and
   apparently tried to convert OMF files.  Here is an example of the
   output.

   cc -nointl  -DIN_GCC -D__STDC__=0  -g     -I. -I. -I./config -c ./cexp.c
   ./cexp.c
   /usr/bin/.cvtomf: fatal error -- No input file specified

   I solved the problem by redefining CFLAGS so that the '-g' flag was
   turned off during the bootstrap.

I don't understand why this happened.  I just tried it again, and it
didn't happen to me.  I don't even have a program /usr/bin/.cvtomf.
Does this mean that you can never run ``cc -g''?  That seems peculiar.
