Greetings

I compiled gcc2.4.3.1 on AIX3.2 (which has the assembler patch
already, so '-g' works) and got the following warnings from the
compiler at all stages:

------------------start---------
enquire.c: in function 'cprop'
warning: comparison is always 0 due to limited range of data ..
.
isn-emit.c: in function 'gen_uminsi'
line 266 warning: decimal constant is so large that it is unsigned
line 267 warning: decimal constant is so large that it is unsigned
isn-emit.c: in function 'gen_umaxsi'
line 298 warning: decimal constant is so large that it is unsigned
line 299 warning: decimal constant is so large that it is unsigned
------------------end  ---------

The final 'make compare' yielded no error messages.
I'm wondering if the above compiler warnings can be ignored.  They
*look* rather serious to me.

I used:  'configure --target=rs6000-ibm-aix'
         'make LANGUAGES=c'
         'make stage1' 
         'make CC="stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/" CFLAGS="-g -O" LANGUAGES=c
         'make stage2' 
         'make CC="stage2/xgcc -Bstage2/" CFLAGS="-g -O" 

i.e. no change from what was instructed in the INSTALL file of the
distribution.

If anyone has had some experience in the above, I'd be most grateful
if comments or advice could be rendered.  I tried searching for an FAQ
but to no avail.  Thanks in advance.
