I recently posted a message about the following error which occured while I
was trying to build gcc 2.2.2 on a 386BSD 4.4 net2 system.


libgcc2.c:41:Junk character 47.
libgcc2.c:41:Rest of line ignored. 1st junk character valued 65 (A).
libgcc2.c:43:Junk character 47.
libgcc2.c:43:Rest of line ignored. 1st junk character valued 78 (N).
*** Error code 1

Stop.


I have solved the problem on my own.  It is with the version of the gnu
assembler that I am using.  When gcc puts a comment in its assembler code
output it uses the '/' character to begin the comment, however the new version
of the gnu assembler that I am using does not recognize the '/' character as
beginning a comment.  It only accepts the '#' character as beginning a comment.
This may be specific to i386 machines.  I don't know.

I am considering changing my copy of gcc 2.2.2 so that it can use either '/'
or '#' for assembler comments.  I would appreciate any input or corrections to
what I have said.


Thanks,
Bill Chatfield
