	I am trynig to compile gcc 1.40 on an ISC 386 box (Yeah I know 2.0)
	is out & the whole world is working on that.  Well we have 1.40 & 
	I suspect it's probably a more stable item at this time , if I'm
	wrong about that please tell me).  Anyway it is my understnading
	that this system uses COFF so I think I need to do the folowing
	(quoted from INSTALL file)


| 7. If you are using COFF-encapsulation, you must convert `gnulib'
|    to a GNU-format library at this point.  See the file
|    `README-ENCAP' in the directory containing the GNU binary file
|    utilities, for directions.

	Herin lies the probelm.  I don't seem to have any such file as 
	README-ENCAP.  I suspect it may be part of a sepearte distribution,
	but I'm not sure.

	What is interesting is that *without* doing this (I skipped) this
	step entirly, I have succeded in compiling gcc with itself &
	having it compile other code which apears to run correctly.  Is th
	documentaion out of date her.  I ran configure with the i386-sysv
	paramter, did this somehow magicly tak care of the coff issue for me?

	On a related subject what should I tell configure for gdb  (I have version
	4.4), The options seem to be totatly different here than for gcc.

	Thanks In Advance for your help.
