Hi,

I am mailing this to help-gcc@prep.ai.mit.edu; earlier today I
posted a message to newsgroup gnu.gcc.help but after reading
the "how to get help" in the gcc info file, that seems to be
wrong.   PLEASE pardon my stupidity if you see this twice.

Yesterday I fetched, compiled, and installed gcc v2.3.1 for our
sun4s running sunos 4.1.1.  I have a few questions which are
probably ridiculously simple for you folks, but the answers don't
seem obvious right now.

1.  Where do the c++ header/include files come from?  I seem
    to be lacking them.  For example, I need <stream.h> to compile
    even the simplest hello.C program.  Do I need to ftp something else?
    Did I overlook something in the documentation or is something
    actually missing?

2.  Should I be using gas?  Right now, the compiler uses just the
    standard system assembler.  Are the benefits worth my trouble?

3.  The GNU C library (glibc-1.05) is intended for people who have no c
    library available, correct?  Are there any benefits for folks like us? 

4.  What is the libgcc.a used for?  It was installed under
    /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc.../2.3.1 and is a collection
    of objects that can be used in static linking.  I'm asking
    because I wonder how this works with/against dynamic linking
    on our suns.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.  My apologies if I've
overlooked the answers in the INSTALL or the info files.
