I'm compiling the latest version of gcc on a 386 machine running a dialect
of SVR3.2 (namely, ISC 2.2).  All is going well; however, there is a note
in the INSTALL file that, immediately after the initial "make", if one 
want's COFF-encapsulation, then one should read a file called, I think,
README-COFF, in the directory containing gnu binary utilities for file
handling, to change gnulib, before proceeding.

	(1) I intend to use the native assembler, as.

	(2) I'd like to be able to use the "-g" option of gcc, to produce
files that can be used by sdb, and, eventually, gdb.

Do I need "COFF-encapsulation"?  If so, where can I get the necessary info
and tools to modify gnulib.  (Also, what is "COFF-encapsulation"?.)

As I don't read this newsgroup regularly (although that appears likely to
change in the future :), an email response would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

				Sincerely yours,
