   As the subject line says, I'm trying to install gcc 2.3.3 on a Sun
Sparcstation running Solaris 2.1.  I was at first trying to compile it
for Solaris from another Sparcstation running SunOS 4.1, but the
problem seems to be the same even after I pulled the Cygnus binaries
off of ftp.uu.net.  I therefore suspect that the executable for gcc is
OK, but there is a problem with the assembler stuff.

   What it looks like is a problem with the assembly pass of a
compile.  If it finds /bin/as it will return some errors about unknown
options 'y' and 's'.  However, when it finds gas compiled for sparc
(built with "make asparc") I seem to consistently get errors for
unknown pseudo-ops.  For example, trying to compile the hello.c file
that came with the Cygnus stuff, I get this:

#include <stdio.h>

extern int printf();

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        (void) printf("hello: The compilation tools appear to be installed correctly on your %s.\n",
                MACHINE);
        return(0);
} /* main() */

   By the way, the gas executable was built on the Sparc running SunOS
4.1.

   Does anyone see an obvious problem with what I'm doing?  If not,
then what should I look for that could be giving the above error
messages?  Thanks for any help you can give me.
