recently, I was given an old 10 Mhz 68000 Unix machine, a kontron psi 9068, with a defective hard disk. As the manufacturer was near by, I got it fixed, and am now playing 'sysop' at home without getting killed by our 'real' sysadmins here. The Unix is an AT&T based system 7 , but limited to 7 character variable names. So I would like to compile an old (slender!) version of gcc for this machine. However, sources for gcc I found so far contain longer variable names, of course. So, before I spend weeks replacing variable names , my question arises: Has anybody had the same problem and has already converted gcc sources to 7character variable names, or does an old version exist with such? The version could be a very old one, newer ones could probably be compiled with the help of the first running version... Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance, -Burkhard.
