Has anyone successfully built and installed the gnu libc version 1.05.1?  I
have been having an awfull time of it.  There seems to be all sorts of
problems.  I have installed gcc v2.3.3 and gas v2.0 on a sunos4.1.2 platform,
but attempting to build libc.a as directed by INSTALL results first in
undefined pseudo-op errors.  For instance, in sysdeps/sparc/ one finds the
file setjmp.S.  Trying to compile with gcc gives the error "Undefined
pseudo-op .app"  Now looking at the output of the preprocessor one sees
that there are lines of the form

# 1 "DEFS.h"

and so forth.  The preprocessor of the assembler (in the file app.c of gas)
is supposed to output two seperate pseudo-ops, .line and .app-file.  But
somehow the the assembler itself chokes on ".app-file" and tries to look up
just ".app" in its hash table.

Ok, so this can be changed easily enough by replacing all occurances of
".app-file" in the gas source to ".app_file" or something.  Then rebuild
gas and then one can recompile libc successfully.  But this is clearly not
what is supposed to happen.  Does anyone know if I am just screwing up, or
if there there is a real problem here?

Also, once libc.a is built, I attempted to install it and the other support
files.  Instead of blindly doing "make install" I ran "make -n install"
and examined the output.  There are a number of problems.  First, which
seems most peculiar, it wants to install libc.a right away, but later in
the make output it continues to put object files into the local version of
libc.a and then never reinstalls it.  After playing with this output to fix
obvious things, I tried to execute it, and I find it has problems creating
the zoneinfo stuff.

So my question is, has anybody done this without huge effort, and would
they be willing to help me out?  Thanks in advance.
