Hi Gerry.  Look in /users/cs/dpool/bin for gcc 1.40 running on seq1.
I built it with 80387 support and it seems to go just fine.

Getting gas to work was a whole different story.  It requires a bit
of hacking in write.c to write the sequents a.out.h header format.
You also need to make sure that <a.out.h> is included and not the
gnu version.
