I posted this to the group on BASH bugs and got no response, so,
wondering if that was the wrong group, I'm posting it here.

I am trying to make BASH on my 3b2/300 and have run into two problems so
far.  Perhaps some reader can help.  Since I do not usually read
gnu.bash.bug, I may have missed an earlier discussion of these problems.

	1. "fscanf," as used in newversion.c (newversion.aux) compiles
OK but, when called in the Makefile, causes abnormal halt with an
"illegal instruction" message.  When I finally got it to work (by
placing * before "stream," it did NOT cause anything to be read from
.distribution.  Why?

The foregoing is easily worked-around:  I just update versions.h
manually. However, the next one is serious; 

	2. The compiler quits on lines 290 and 341 of builtins.c with
the message "token too long."  This is in an extraordinarilly long
string initizlization in a structure.  It is probably related to the 3B2
problem, "too many #define's."  However, it doesn't seem to be as easily
fixed.  Has anyone worked out a solution?  

Is there, perchance, another compiler yet available for the 3B2/300, one
that won't cost as much as an upscale PC/AT?  Did anyone, for example,
ever finally port GNU C to the 3B2?

Post answers or send e-mail; your choice.

Thanks for the help.
