Hi

    I have an Okistation-7300 Model-20 which also uses the 
i860 CPU running OKIX-1.1 a port of the SVR4 for the i-860
class of CPU and have been trying to get gcc compiled on
it and ran exactly into the same problem with 'enquire -f'
not RETURNING at all.

    For some reason, GNU folks have decided to stop supporting
the i860 Class of CPUS and for those of us, lost in oblivion
since the manufacture went belly-up, we have not way to
keep up with the newer version of gcc.

    I would greatly appreciate if any one could shed any light
on this. Since OKIDATA still manufactures and sells these products
in Japan, I would presume that somewhere somebody knows how to
fix this, but just wont let the world know about it.
