I have installed gcc 2.7.2 on an HPUX system (OS version 10.01) and
when I compile anything with the -A switch I get the following:

*Initialization*:1: missing token-sequence in `#assert'

This isn't a command line switch that I normally use, but some
packages try to use it (X-Windows 6.1 for example).  I have built gcc
using:

configure --with-gnu-as
make LANGUAGES=c
make stage1
make LANGUAGES=c CC="stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/" CFLAGS="-g -O2"
make stage2
make CC="stage2/xgcc -Bstage2/" CFLAGS="-g -O2"

when I cd to stage2 and do "xgcc -Aa test.c" I get the above error
message.

I did install the bintools package before hand.  If I stay away from
the -A switch all seems fine, but as I mentioned there are several
packages that try to use it.

The system I have (as reported by config) is:
hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.01

Thanks in advance...
