	After successfully using gcc1.42 on a Sun Sparc with Sunos4.1.1,
I found that it was necessary to install a newerversion of gcc to compile
some newer utilities.  I down-loaded gcc-2.5.8 and have been trying to install
itfor a couple of days.  The install seems to go alright, but I get lots of
fatal errors on code which used to compile with only a few warnings.  

	Is there anything in the distribution of gcc which can test
gcc to make sure it is really working right?  I wasn't really sure that I
followed the instructions correctly.  I needed only to compile gcc for the
Sun, so I just typed  configure  at the prompt.  It appeared to correctly
determine that this was a Sun running Sunos4.1.1.  I then typed  make  and
after that completed,  make install  to finish the job.  The whole thing
took about two hours on this Sparc and produced a gcc binary which seems to
work, but only on the most simple code.  

	It would make the whole trouble-shooting process easier if there
was some known test procedure which would put the new compiler through

its paces.  Right now, everything is suspect.

	Thank you for any good tips which   can be used to figure out what,
if anything, is wrong.
