Hi,

I'm relatively new to GNU software and I've just been building gcc 2.5.[67].
I built 2.5.6 and applied the diffs to 2.5.7 per the gcc-2.5.6-2.5.7.diff
file.  I then went to update the TAGS, etc., per the instructions:

>>> Changes for GCC version 2.5.7 from version 2.5.6.
>>> 
>>> Changes in files you can reconstruct with Bison, etags, makeinfo, and
>>> TeX have been omitted.  Some of these files are updated just by
>>> building the compiler.  You can update rest of these files by
>>> executing this command
>>> 
>>>    make TAGS info dvi -f Makefile.in
>>> 
>>> in the directory of GCC sources, provided the necessary tools
>>> (etags, makeinfo, TeX and texi2dvi) are installed.

The first thing I noticed is that this dies (at least with the make under
SunOS 4.1.3) because of the embedded '^L's in the file 'Makefile.in'.  Once
those are 'sed'ed out, it dies trying to make the TAGS, complaining that the
file(s) '=*.[chy]' are not found.  That portion of Makefile.in looks like:

TAGS: force
	   cd $(srcdir);                                                   \
	   mkdir temp;                                                     \
	   mv -f c-parse.[ch] cp-parse.[ch] objc-parse.c cexp.c =*.[chy] temp; \
	   etags *.y *.h *.c;                                              \
	   mv temp/* .;                                                    \
	   rmdir temp

In looking at this, I'm not sure what the 'mv' is really supposed to move
and on what etags is supposed to operate.  Any pointers or suggestions would
be appreciated.  TIA.
