I'm having problems making GCC on our AT&T SYSV machine.  I ran configure with
this system arguement: i386-att-sysvr3

Then I got the first stage compiled using cc.  Then when I tried to use xgcc to
compile itself, it gave me some symbol referencing errors in the link stage.
It could not find the symbols putc() and fseek().  It had the same problem when
it try to compile the enquire.c program.  I solved that problem by using CC to
compile enquire instead of GCC.  Unfortunately I can't get by with that at
this point.

When xgcc compiled itself, it does appear to link in the C library (I'm using
the ld linker), so I *THINK* there error is in the stdio.h files declarations.
I think the GCC must be defining some symbols that CC does not and therefore
missing the declarations of fseek() and putc().  I just can't figure out what
symbols these are!  It could be __STDC__ or it might be __POSIX__ but I thought
maybe someone else might have had this problem.  I'm not sure what version of
CC we have installed.

If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.  I got the dern compiler
to compile things like tinymud which require an ANSI compliant compiler (as CC
is not compliant). Now I am stuck trying to get GCC to compile when what I 
really want to compile can't be until I'm successful with GCC.
