I am trying to build gcc 2.3.3 as a matter of some urgency on a new
machine I don't know very well yet.

It is a Siemens-Nixdorf RM600, which is basically a Pyramid MIS-Server
(with R3000 processor(s)), running SINIX, which is basically Pyramid's
DC/OSx SVR4.

So far I'm still struggling to find a half-way successful set of
Makefile components based on various bits of supplied mips and svr4
config files as a template. The mips files seem to assume that the
compiler will be the MIPS compiler with all sorts of special switches,
but we seem to have a several compilers, all of them different from
the MIPS one. At least half my problem is not knowing the target. Part
of the rest is not knowing the methodology -- I've built many versions
of gcc many times, but only ever on nice, easy, well-known machines.

Surely someone, somewhere, has built the world's greatest compiler on
either a Pyramid DC/OSx or on an SNI machine (which are apparently
somewhat more common in europe). If you have any information at all, I
beg of you, please let me know by email to dan@lochard.com.au (my work
address). 

Thankyou.
