In an earlier bug report, which I saw in gnu.gcc.bug, Magnus Nordborg
(magnus@fisher.stanford.edu) reports that GCC version 2.3.1 does not compile
on Next computers running release 3.0 of the operating system.

The problem seems to be the use of Objective C (or C++) style comments in
Next's /usr/include/ansi/m68k/stdarg.h include file, which is included
indirectly when the GCC source code contains #include <stdarg.h>.  I don't
think the use of the // comment syntax belongs in an ANSI include file.

Perhaps the best way to fix this is to extend fixincludes, which is
intended to install legal ANSI replacements for defective vendor headers.
In this case, it would turn // comments into /* comments.

If stdarg.h is the only file with this wierdness, it would be enough to
put a fixed copy of it into the /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/next-whatever/include
directory by hand (check the path on your system; it's where the
gcc-generated header files live).
