I am trying very hard to get gcc-2.1 working on the ICL DRS6000

I configured to to be --target=sparc-sysv4

The problem seems to be gcc is generating "wrong" assembly code
for the native assembler. Examples are given below:

gcc		what I think the native assembler expects
===		===========================================
.text   	.section ".text"
.data		.section ".data"
.string		.ascii
.rodata		.section ".rodata"
.init		.section ".init"
.ctors		.section ".ctors"
.dtors		.section ".dtors"

.bss		???????(Beats me)


The problem is compounded by the fact that I do not have 
any assembly language  guide for the ICL machine.
I tried to fixed the source , but after the fixed the
compiler just dumos core on the simplest program
and using sdb shows that it dumps core in __do_global_ctors.


So next I tried using gas as the assembler but I encountered
2 other directives generated by gcc which is not recognised by gas.
They are .size and .type.

Any help is greatly appreciated and I need to get this done fast.
Thanks a million in advance!!
