i Ive been trying to get gcc2.3 to compile on my XD88 workstation - this
machine is 88k based , and appears to be motorola's SVR3 with little
change.
 After much time has passed compiling parts of gcc, a program called
'configure' that appeared to have been compiled with the newly created
gcc (xgcc) crashes - the system doesnt regonise the program as binary
executable - the file command tells me its a V88 object, not a V88
executable.. It looks like the system linker stuffed up, even though
an earlier program called 'genattr' appeared to link and run..

 If I ignore the error and go to make a stage2 compiler, genattr fails to
execute - again a binary is produced but its not executable.

 The doco mentions that the GreenHills compiler is buggy and suggests that
an earlier version of gcc be used - does that mean the gcc1 wont trip the
same bugs that gcc2.3 does ?
