I am trying to install gcc 1.38 with gas and gnu ld on a machine
running Interactive's 386/ix v.2.0.2 (System V/386).  I have managed
to build stage 1, but have run into a problem when compiling gcc with
itself.  Everything seems to be running fine until the make tries to
run genflags.  It then exits with a bus error.  I tried compiling
several other programs with the gcc produced during stage 1, and have
received a bus error from them also.

To get to this point I have done the following:
1.  Built gcc with cc as following the instructions (ie. config
    sysv-i386-gas, make install).  This includes commenting out
    gnulib2 in the makefile, converting gnulib with
    binutils/libconvert, and then makeing gnulib2.

2.  Built gas 1.37 as per the instructions (with -DSIGTY=void as the
    only define, and using the alloca.o from gcc).

3.  Built ld, ar, and robotussin as per the instructions (using
    alloca.o from gcc).  I also had to change the two occurances of
    sizeof(coffheader) to sizeof(struct coffheader) in ld.c and edit
    the load path in ld.c to our local gnu library.

Has anyone managed to get farther than this on a 386/ix system?
