I posted a response to getting GNU Gcc up on a MASSCOMP machine
yesterday (11/19/90). I just thought of an other problem which caused
the built compiler to fail. There appears to be a problem with some
versions of the MASSCOMP standard 'cc' compiler which cause it to
generate bad code when too many variables are declared register. The
GNU compiler has a profusion of register declarations. My fix was to
edit each file for which the 'cc' compiler emitted a message to the
effect of "too many register declared" (I don't recall the exact
message. This allowed me to bring up the first phase of gcc. I then
re-compiled the original code with gcc to get a second phase gcc.
This is what I used then for doing the "Stage1" and "Stage2" stuff.
