OK, I have been trying for a couple of weeks now to compile GCC 1.40 on
an ICL Clan4 (which is a rebadged CCI machine, model unknown, 68020
processor) running UNIPLUS's 1984 release of SYSV2.

Having overcome a problem with our C compiler producing illegal lea.l
instructions from the __PTR_TO_INT #define from "obstack.h" where it was
attempting to place the result in a data register, not an address
register, we now have another problem.

When compiling caller-save.c our compiler bombs out with:
/lib/ccom: Fatal error
when attempting to assign places to jump to within the first couple of
operations in emit_mult_save().

GCC is config.gcc'ed for a harris (tahoe with COFF) with a define for
USG (to get the flavour right) as a friend (who tends to be knowledgable
in these matters) reckoned that our Clan4 was probably a rebadged Tahoe.

Now, the question is:

Does anyone have a clue about what we can do to get it compiled ??

And, on a slightly less GNU footing:
Does anyone know anything about Clan4's ?
[Our machine was a gift from ICL, and came with *no* manuals]
