hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20
+--------------------
-Due to a problem (conflicting types) with libiberty/regex.c, GDB 5.1
-does not build on HP/UX 10.20 when using the HP supplied compiler.
-
-Due to bit rot, GDB 5.1 does not work on HP/UX 10.20 when built with
-GCC.
-
-
-hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00
-
-Due to a problem with ltconfig and long argument lines, GDB 5.1 does
-not configure on HP/UX 11.00.

-alpha-dec-osf5.1
-
-GDB 5.1 has a number of problems on this platform (Ref PR gdb/237). A
-GDB 5.1 built with ``CC="cc -DUSE_LDR_ROUTINES"'' is reported to work
-much better.
-
-
-alpha-dec-osf4.0e
-
-GDB 5.1 is known to have problems on this platform (encounters an
-internal error in the symbol table reader).
-
-
-sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8
-
-There are known problems with building GDB 5.1 using GCC 3.0.x for the
-64 bit SPARC target (bad code gen). You could try a development
-version of GCC.

-i586-sco-sysv5uw7.1.1
+gdb/487: The top level make files used to build GDB are not compatible
+with HP/UX make. As a workaround, use GNU make.
-There are known problems with GDB 5.1's thread support on this
-platform. Non-threaded programs should work.
+gdb/486: The HP/UX C compiler defaults to K&R mode but GDB only builds
+with an ISO C compiler. The top level configuration incorrectly sets
+CC to `cc' instead of `cc -Ae'. As a workaround, the correct compiler
+can be specified as part of the configuration vis:
+ $ 'CC=cc -Ae' ./configure
-*-*-*
-GDB 5.1 assumes that the host C compiler implemends alloca(). GCC is
-one such compiler. This problem should be fixed on the trunk.
