Hello,

I'm running ISC SVR3.2.

I've just built gcc 1.40 with COFF-encapsulation. I followed the build 
procedure outlined in the file READ-ENCAP in the binutils file:

	gcc:       config.gcc i386-sysv-gas
                   make install

	gas:       make a386
                   cp a386 /usr/local/lib/gcc-as

        binutils:  make install
                   rm /usr/local/bin/ld
                   cp ld /usr/local/lib/gcc-ld

        libraries: a. make libc.a
                      cp libc.a /usr/local/lib/gnu/libg.a 
                      (not libc.a as specified in the instructions)
                   b. cp ../gcc-1.40/gnulib usg-gnulib
                      make gnulib
                      cp gnulib /usr/local/lib/gcc-gnulib
                   c. robotussin /lib/crt0.o /usr/local/lib/gcc-crt0.o

I then built gnu make using gcc, as follows:

	make CC="gcc -traditional"

(I've had to use the -traditional option, as all compiles fail due to include
file problems otherwise.)

The build completed OK, but the gnu make binary does nothing when invoked - the 
system prompt simply appears on the next line. gnu make executes correctly when 
compiled with cc.

Do COFF-encapsulated binaries execute in the same way as normal binaries, or is 
there something I'm missing?

Thanks,

- Paul
