Has anyone succeeded in installing the GNU-Lib 1.05 on a DECstation under
Ultrix? I have been working at it for a few days now, without much
success.

Here a short list of the problems:
1) When compiling (make lib), I get assembler error messages for some files,
   complaining about "undefined assembler operation: .stabs". Since
   there is no GNU-as for MIPS machines, I can't be using the wrong
   assembler.
2) When I ignore the first problem and type "make install", I get an enormous
   amount of error messages. I could trace most of them to the fact that
   the include files (*.h) are moved to their final place, but are later
   required in their old directories. I could get around this by setting
   INSTALL to "install -c", but I am not sure whether this is the right
   solution.
3) When working on the subdirectory time, zic complained about illegal
   arguments. After some study it turned out that the GNU libs contain
   their own version of zic, but for some reason not quite clear to me
   the standard Unix version is used later, which of course doesn't
   understand the enhanced functionality. To get around this problem,
   I changed the name of the new zic everywhere, but I doubt that this
   is the official solution.
4) I noticed that after installing libc.a, this file is modified again.
   From this I conclude that an unfinished copy is installed.

Any help is greatly appreciated...
