Version compatibility?

	I am attempting to get gcc 2.3.2, libg++2.3, gdb4-7 working on my
system and I have some questions that someone out there may know the 
answer to.

	It seems to me that I have to get gcc working first, then libg++, then
gdb.  (Though the last two may not matter).   However, I notice that one
of the include directories in the makefile for gcc is 
/usr/local/lib/lib-gcc/g++-includes.    The directory exists, but it contains
the includes from gcc 2.2.2, the previous version I got mostly working.
Is that going to create problems?

	This is about the third try on my part (it takes many hours to build
gcc) to get gcc 2.3.2 working, and I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  

	First, when I built it and tried to compile using g++ with the -g
flag I would get an error that L_T51 could not be found.   Sure enough the
label was in the assembler code with a assembler directive.   I will submit
a formal bug report if this is not just due to some obvious screw-up on 
my part.

	Second, when I compiled a regular C program, the step option did not
work in my gdb.   I was using 4-6 and had not gotten 4-7 up.   I assume that
problem will go away if I upgrade to 4-7.

	gcc does not seem to recognize file suffixes and always gives me 
a link error if I do not explicitly call g++ for C++ programs.     

	When I try to compile with the new gcc, I get many errors from 
the include files.

	I should note that the fixincludes script does not seem to run to
completion, but I don't think that should make any difference for g++.  I
can just manually create the proper directory and copy the files in and 
it seems to allow gcc to run.  

	I am on SVR4 on a 486, using a rather obscure UNIX (Microport), but
I believe it is just the same as USL with some extra drivers and a few 
performance enhancements.   In other words, the compiler and libraries are
just the same.

	I think that all of this may just be one problem that is cascading
and I wonder if my description looks familiar to anyone.   If not, I will
post detailed bug reports.  

	Thanks for your help!!
