I am having difficulty compiling gcc on our machine:
Plexus P75
CPU: 68020, no 68881
OS: Unix SysV R3

The main trouble is that the native C compiler cannot deal with
such large expression trees as are in the gcc source.

I have 7 pre-processed C files now which I need to compile somehow.
(The rest were OK)

Is 68k assembler portable between all machines with that CPU?
i.e. should it work if I compiled C to assembler on any 68020
and then assembled and linked locally?

I tried this on a Sun-3 but the assembler code format was a bit
different for some reason.

I don't like my chances of finding another Plexus out there with
gcc already going, so if anyone with a "generic" 68020-based
machine without a 68881 would be willing to compile a few files
for me I would be very grateful.

Thanks,
Tim.
