Hi!  I'm trying to install gcc 2.3.3 on a MIPS running RISC/os (UMIPS) 5.0.
This system has three (3) versions of cc.  The default on our system is
svr3, but bsd43 and svr4 are also available.  My problem is:

I tried to do the compile under the default (svr3).
  (1) % configure mips-mips-sysv
  (2) % make bootstrap
       -- the compile proceeds through the first pass and starts on stage1/
          Part way through, ./genflags dies on a segmentation fault.

I've had trouble before with the MIPS -O options, so I removed all of them
from Makefile.  This time 'make bootstrap' died during the first pass when
./genattr died on a segmentation fault.

I then tried compiling with bsd43 (this occasionally works).
  (1) % configure mips-mips-bsd43
  (2) -- edit the Makefile to insert the -systype bsd43 flag
  (3) % make bootstrap
      -- the compile dies in the first pass when it turns out that MIPS'
         sys/stat.h doesn't check to see if it's been included before. :-)
         The work around helps us along, but ./mips-tfile dies like so...

./xgcc -B./  -DIN_GCC   -g  -c dummy.c
17274:./mips-tfile: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in ./mips-tfile: _ctype_
17274:./mips-tfile: rld: Fatal Error: this executable has unresolvable symbols

I'll try it with svr4 in the meantime, but I'm hoping someone out there will
tell me this is simple to fix -- or at least fixable.  (I'm dreaming :-)

Post a reply or email me...
