Hi,

I am running linux 1.3.39 on a 586. I used to have gcc 2.5.8.
I wanted to update to the new ELF standard wlith gcc 2.7.0.
I found this file move_to_elf in the GCC directory on a sunsite mirror 
and - so I believe - did everything in there.
Now gcc is broken. Yes, I do have a backup, but I'd prefer to have the 
new version.

Whatever I attempt to compile, I get lots of unresolved references such 
as __default_morecore etc. LOTS of them.

The file move_to_elf mentions the rebuilding of libc. So it tried to do 
that. The unpacking creates a huge dircetory called ./libc. I go in 
there, do the configure, make clean, make depend, and I get the same 
error messages about unresolved references.

Is there a FAQ out there how to install gcc 2.7.0 or newer without having 
a working gcc (+libraries) or something in that direction  ?

Thanks,

Peter
