-Building egcs-1.0 
-
-Now that egcs is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and
-runtime libraries.
-
-We highly recommend that egcs be built using gnu-make; other
-versions make work, then again they might not.  To be safe build with gnu-make.
-
-Building a native compiler
-For a native build issue the command "make bootstrap".  This will build
-the entire egcs compiler system, which includes the following steps:
-
-
-  Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison,
-  gperf.
-
-  Build target tools for use by the compiler such as gas, gld, and binutils.
-
-  Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler.
-
-  Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers.
-
-  Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous step.
-
-
-If you are short on disk space you might consider "make bootstrap-lean"
-instead.  This is identical to "make bootstrap" except that object files
-from the stage1 and stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are
-deleted as soon as they are no longer needed.
-
-Building a cross compiler
-
-We recommend reading the crossgcc FAQ for information about building
-cross compilers.
-"ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/embedded/crossgcc/FAQ-0.8.1"
-
-For a cross build, issue the command "make cross", which performs the
-following steps:
-
-  Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison,
-  gperf.
-
-  Build target tools for use by the compiler such as gas, gld, and binutils.
-
-  Build the compiler (single stage only).
-
-  Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step.
-
-
-Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit.

-Configuring egcs-1.0
-
-Like most GNU software, egcs must be configured before it can be built.
-This document attempts to describe the recommended configuration procedure
-for both native and cross targets.
-
-We use srcdir to refer to the toplevel source directory for
-egcs; we use objdir to refer to the toplevel build/object
-directory for egcs.
-
-First, we highly recommend that egcs be built into a separate
-directory than the sources.  This is how we generally build egcs; building
-where srcdir == objdir should still work, but doesn't get
-extensive testing.
-
-Second, when configuring a native system, either "cc" must be in your
-path or you must set CC in your environment before running configure.
-Otherwise the configuration scripts may fail.
-
-To configure egcs:
-
-  % mkdir objdir
-  % cd objdir
-  % srcdir/configure [target] [options]
-
-
-target specification
-
-  egcs has code to correctly determine the correct value for
-  target for nearly all native systems.  Therefore, we highly
-  recommend you not provide a configure target when configuring a
-  native compiler.
-
-  target must be specified when configuring a cross compiler;
-  examples of valid targets would be i960-rtems, m68k-coff, sh-elf, etc.
-
-
-options specification
-
-Use options to override several configure time options for
-egcs.  A partial list of supported options:
-
-
-  --prefix=dirname -- Specify the toplevel installation
-  directory.  This is the recommended way to install the tools into a directory
-  other than the default.  The toplevel installation directory defaults to
-  /usr/local.
-
-  These additional options control where certain parts of the distribution
-  are installed.  Normally you should not need to use these options.
-  
-     --with-local-prefix=dirname -- Specify the installation
-     directory for local include files.  The default is /usr/local.
-
-     --with-gxx-include-dir=dirname -- Specify the installation
-     directory for g++ header files.  The default is /usr/local/include/g++.
-  
-
-  --enable-shared -- Build shared versions of the C++ runtime
-  libraries if supported --disable-shared is the default.
-
-  --enable-haifa -- Enable the new Haifa instruction scheduler in the
-  compiler; the new scheduler can significantly improve code on some targets.
-  --disable-haifa is currently the default on all platforms except the HPPA.
-
-  --with-gnu-as -- Specify that the compiler should assume the GNU
-  assembler (aka gas) is available. 
-
-  --with-gnu-ld -- Specify that the compiler should assume the GNU
-  linker (aka gld) is available. 
-
-  --with-stabs -- Specify that stabs debugging information should be used
-  instead of whatever format the host normally uses.  Normally GCC uses the
-  same debug format as the host system. 
-
-  --enable-multilib -- Specify that multiple target libraries
-  should be built to support different target variants, calling conventions,
-  etc.  This is the default. 
-
-  --enable-threads -- Specify that the target supports threads.
-  This only effects the Objective-C compiler and runtime library.
-
-  --enable-threads=lib -- Specify that lib is the
-  thread support library.  This only effects the Objective-C compiler  and
-  runtime library.
-
-  --with-cpu=cpu -- Specify which cpu variant the compiler should
-  generate code for by default.  This is currently only supported on the
-  RS6000/PowerPC ports.
-
-
-Some options which only apply to building cross compilers:
-
-  --with-headers=dir -- Specifies a directory which has target
-  include files.
-  --with-libs=dirs -- Specifies a list of directories which contain
-  the target runtime libraries.
-  --with-newlib -- Specifies that "newlib" is being used as the target
-  C library.   This causes __eprintf to be omitted from libgcc.a on the
-  assumption that it will be provided by newlib.
-
- 
-Note that each --enable option has a corresponding --disable option and
-that each --with option has a corresponding --without option.

-egcs Frequently Asked Questions
-
-
-How is egcs be different from gcc2?
-
-Six years ago, gcc version 1 had reached a point of stability.  For the
-targets it could support, it worked well.  It had limitations inherent in
-its design that would be difficult to resolve, so a major effort was made
-and gcc version 2 was the result.  When we had gcc2 in a useful state,
-development efforts on gcc1 stopped and we all concentrated on making
-gcc2 better than gcc1 could ever be.  This is the kind of step forward
-we want to make with egcs.
-
-In brief, the three biggest differences between egcs and gcc2 are
-these:  
-
-
-  More rexamination of basic architectual decisions of
-    gcc and an interest in adding new optimizations;
-
-  working with the groups who have fractured out from gcc2 (like
-   the Linux folks, the Intel optimizations folks, Fortran folks)
-   including more front-ends; and finally
-
-  An open development model (see below) for the development process.
-
-
-These three differences will work together to result in a more
-useful compiler, a more stable compiler, a central compiler that works
-for more people, a compiler that generates better code.  
-
-
-There are a lot of exciting compiler optimizations that have come
-out.  We want them in gcc.  There are a lot of front ends out there for
-gcc for languages like Fortran or Pascal.  We want them easily
-installable by users.  After six years of working on gcc2, we've come
-to see problems and limitations in the way gcc is architected; it is
-time to address these again.
-
-
-What is an open development model?
-
-With egcs, we are going to try a bazaar style[1] approach to its
-development:  We're going to be making snapshots publically available
-to anyone who wants to try them; we're going to welcome anyone to join
-the development mailing list.  All of the discussions on the
-development mailing list are available via the web.  We're going to be
-making releases with a much higher frequency than they have been made
-in the past:  We're shooting for three by the end of 1997.
-
-In addition to weekly snapshots of the egcs development sources, we
-are going to look at making the sources readable from a CVS server by
-anyone.  We want to make it so external maintainers of parts of egcs
-are able to commit changes to their part of egcs directly into the
-sources without going through an intermediary.
-
-There have been many potential gcc developers who were not able to
-participate in gcc development in the past.  We these people to help in
-any way they can; we ultimately want gcc to be the best compiler in the
-world.
-
-A compiler is a complicated piece of software, there will still be
-strong central maintainers who will reject patches, who will demand
-documentation of implementations, and who will keep the level of
-quality as high as it is today.  Code that could use wider testing may
-be intergrated--code that is simply ill-conceived won't be.
-
-egcs is not the first piece of software to use this open development
-process; FreeBSD, the Emacs lisp repository, and Linux are a few
-examples of the bazaar style of development.
-
-With egcs, we will be adding new features and optimizations at a
-rate that has not been done since the creation of gcc2; these additions
-will inevitably have a temporarily destabilizing effect.  With the help
-of developers working together with this bazaar style development, the
-resulting stability and quality levels will be better than we've had
-before.
-
-cathedral-vs-bazaar[1]
-  We've been discussing different development models a lot over the
-  past few months.  The paper which started all of this introduced two
-  terms:  A cathedral development model versus a bazaar
-  development model.  The paper is written by Eric S. Raymond, it is
-  called `` http://locke.ccil.org/~esr/writings/cathedral.html"  The
-  Cathedral and the Bazaar''.  The paper is a useful starting point
-  for discussions.
-
-
-
-bits/libc-lock.h: No such file or directory
-egcs includes a tightly integrated libio and libstdc++ implementation which
-can cause problems on hosts which have libio integrated into their C library
-(most notably Linux).
-
-We believe that we've solved the major technical problems for the most
-common versions of libc found on Linux systems.  However, some versions
-of Linux use pre-release versions of glibc2, which egcs has trouble detecting
-and correctly handling.
-
-If you're using one of these pre-release versions of glibc2, you may get
-a message "bits/libc-lock.h: No such file or directory" when building egcs.
-Unfortunately, to fix this problem you will need to update your C library to
-glibc2.0.5c.
-
-Late breaking news: we may have at least a partial solution for these
-problems.  So this FAQ entry may no longer be needed.
-
-
-`_IO_stdfile_0_lock' was not declared in this scope
-If you get this error, it means either egcs incorrectly guessed what version
-of libc is installed on your linux system, or you incorrectly specified a
-version of glibc when configuring egcs.
-
-If you did not provide a target name when configuring egcs, then you've
-found a bug which needs to be reported.  If you did provide a target name at
-configure time, then you should reconfigure without specifying a target name.
-
-
-Problems building the Fortran compiler
-The Fortran front end can not be built with most vendor compilers; it must
-be built with gcc.  As a result, you may get an error if you do not follow
-the install instructions carefully.
-
-In particular, instead of using "make" to build egcs, you should use
-"make bootstrap" if you are building a native compiler or "make cross"
-if you are building a cross compiler.
-
-It has also been reported that the Fortran compiler can not be built     
-on Red Hat 4.X linux for the Alpha.  Fixing this may require upgrading
-binutils or to Red Hat 5.0; we'll provide more information as it becomes  
-available.                                                               
-
-
-Problems building on MIPS platforms
-egcs requires the use of GAS on all versions of Irix, except Irix 6 due
-to limitations in older Irix assemblers.
-
- Either of these messages indicates that you are using the MIPS assembler
-when instead you should be using GAS.
-
-    as0: Error: ./libgcc2.c, line 1:Badly delimited numeric literal
-          .4byte $LECIE1-$LSCIE1
-    as0: Error: ./libgcc2.c, line 1:malformed statement
-
-
-
-    as0: Error: /home/law/egcs_release/gcc/libgcc2.c, line 1:undefined symbol in expression
-    .word $LECIE1-$LSCIE1
-
-
- For Irix 6, you should use the native assembler as GAS is not supported
-on Irix 6.
-
-
-Problems with exception handling on x86 platforms
-If you are using the GNU assembler (aka gas) on an x86 platform and
-exception handling is not working correctly, then odds are you're using a
-buggy assembler.
-
-We recommend binutils-2.8.0.1.15 or newer.
-"ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/binutils-2.8.1.0.15.tar.gz binutils-2.8.0.1.15 source
-ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/binutils-2.8.1.0.15.bin.tar.gz binutils-2.8.0.1.15 x86 binary for libc5
-ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/binutils-2.8.1.0.15.glibc.bin.tar.gz binutils-2.8.0.1.15 x86 binary for glibc2
-Or, you can try a
-ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/gas-970915.tar.gz binutils snapshot; however, be aware that the binutils snapshot is untested
-and may not work (or even build).  Use it at your own risk.
-
-
-Bootstrap comparison failures on HPs
-If you bootstrap the compiler on hpux10 using the HP assembler instead of
-gas, every file will fail the comparison test.
-
-The HP asembler inserts timestamps into object files it creates, causing
-every file to be different.  The location of the timestamp varies for each
-object file, so there's no real way to work around this mis-feature.
-
-Odds are your compiler is fine, but there's no way to be certain.
-
-If you use GAS on HPs, then you will not run into this problem because
-GAS never inserts timestamps into object files.  For this and various other
-reasons we highly recommend using GAS on HPs.
-
-
-Bootstrap loops rebuilding cc1 over and over
-When building egcs, the build process loops rebuilding cc1 over and
-over again.  This happens on mips-sgi-irix5.2, and possibly other platforms.
-
-This is probably a bug somewhere in the egcs Makefile.  Until we find and
-fix this bug we recommend you use GNU make instead of vendor supplied make
-programs.
-
-
-Dynamic linker is unable to find GCC libraries
-This problem manifests itself by programs not finding shared libraries
-they depend on when the programs are started.  Note this problem often manifests
-itself with failures in the libio/libstdc++ tests after configuring with
---enable-shared and building egcs.
-
-GCC does not specify a runpath so that the dynamic linker can find dynamic
-libraries at runtime.
-
-The short explaination is that if you always pass a -R option to the
-linker, then your programs become dependent on directories which
-may be NFS mounted, and programs may hang unnecessarily when an
-NFS server goes down.
-
-The problem is not programs that do require the directories; those
-programs are going to hang no matter what you do.  The problem is
-programs that do not require the directories.
-
-SunOS effectively always passed a -R option for every -L option;
-this was a bad idea, and so it was removed for Solaris.  We should
-not recreate it.
-
-
-Unable to run the testsuite
-If you get a message about unable to find "standard.exp" when trying to
-run the egcs testsuites, then your dejagnu is too old to run the egcs tests.
-You will need to get a newer version of dejagnu; we've made a
-<a href="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/dejagnu-971028.tar.gz">
-dejagnu snapshot available until a new version of dejagnu can be released.
-
-
-How to build a cross compiler
- Building cross compilers is a rather complex undertaking because they
-usually need additional software (cross assembler, cross linker, target
-libraries, target include files, etc).
-
- We recommend reading the <a href="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/embedded/crossgcc/FAQ-0.8.1">
-crossgcc FAQ for information about building cross compilers.
-
- If you have all the pieces available, then `make cross' should build a
-cross compiler.  `make LANGUAGES="c c++" install'will install the cross
-compiler.
-
- Note that if you're trying to build a cross compiler in a tree which
-includes binutils-2.8 in addition to egcs, then you're going to need to
-make a couple minor tweaks so that the cross assembler, linker and
-nm utilities will be found.
-
-binutils-2.8 builds those files as gas.new, ld.new and nm.new; egcs gcc
-looks for them using gas-new, ld-new and nm-new, so you may have to arrange
-for any symlinks which point to &ltfile&gt.new to be changed to &ltfile&gt-new.
-
-
-Snapshots, how, when, why
- We make snapshots of the egcs sources about once a week; there is no
-predetermined schedule.  These snapshots are intended to give everyone
-access to work in progress.  Any given snapshot may generate incorrect code
-or even fail to build.
-
-If you plan on downloading and using snapshots, we highly recommend you
-subscribe to the egcs mailing lists.  See <a href="index.html#mailinglists">
-mailing lists on the main egcs page for instructions on how to subscribe.
-
-When using the diff files to update from older snapshots to newer snapshots,
-make sure to use "-E" and "-p" arguments to patch so that empty files are
-deleted and full pathnames are provided to patch.  If your version of
-patch does not support "-E", you'll need to get a newer version.  Also note
-that you may need autoconf, autoheader and various other programs if you use
-diff files to update from one snapshot to the next.
-
-
-How to install both egcs and gcc2
-It may be desirable to install both egcs and gcc2 on the same system.  This
-can be done by using different prefix paths at configure time and a few
-symlinks.
-
-Basically, configure the two compilers with different --prefix options,
-then build and install each compiler.  Assume you want "gcc" to be the egcs
-compiler and available in /usr/local/bin; also assume that you want "gcc2"
-to be the gcc2 compiler and also available in /usr/local/bin.
-
-The easiest way to do this is to configure egcs with --prefix=/usr/local/egcs
-and gcc2 with --prefix=/usr/local/gcc2.  Build and install both compilers.
-Then make a symlink from /usr/local/bin/gcc to /usr/local/egcs/bin/gcc and
-from /usr/local/bin/gcc2 to /usr/local/gcc2/bin/gcc.  Create similar links
-for the "g++", "c++" and "g77" compiler drivers.
-
-
-Problems building Linux kernels
-If you installed a recent binutils/gas snapshot on your Linux system,
-you may not be able to build the kernel because objdump does not understand
-the "-k" switch.  The solution for this problem is to remove /usr/bin/encaps.
-
-You may get an internal compiler error compiling process.c in newer
-versions of the Linux kernel on x86 machines.  This is a bug in an asm
-statement in process.c, not a bug in egcs.  XXX How to fix?!?
-
-You may get errors with the X driver of the form 
-_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
-
-It's a kernel bug. The function sys_iopl in arch/i386/kernel/process.c
-does an illegal hack which used to work but is now broken since GCC optimizes
-more aggressively . The newer 2.1.x kernels already have a fix which should
-also work in 2.0.32.
-
-
-Virtual memory exhausted error
- This error means your system ran out of memory; this can happen for large
-files, particularly when optimizing.  If you're getting this error you should
-consider trying to simplify your files or reducing the optimization level.
-
-Note that using -pedantic or -Wreturn-type can cause an explosion in the
-amount of memory needed for template-heavy C++ code, such as code that uses
-STL.  Also note that -Wall includes -Wreturn-type, so if you use -Wall you
-will need to specify -Wno-return-type to turn it off.
-
-
-GCC can not find GAS
-Some configurations like irix4, irix5, hpux* require the use of the GNU
-assembler intead of the system assembler.  To ensure that egcs finds the GNU
-assembler, you should configure the GNU assembler with the same --prefix
-option as you used for egcs.  Then build & install the GNU assembler.
-
-
-egcs does not work on Red Hat 5.0
- egcs does not currently work with Red Hat 5.0; we'll update this
-entry with more information as it becomes available.

-The HP assembler has major problems on this platform.  We've tried to work

-Testing egcs-1.0
-
-Before you install egcs, you might wish to run the egcs testsuite; this
-step is optional and may require you to download additional software.
-
-First, you must have downloaded the egcs testsuites; the full distribution
-contains testsuites.  If you downloaded the "core" compiler plus any front
-ends, then you do not have the testsuites.  You can download the testsuites
-from the same site where you downloaded the core distribution and language
-front ends.
-
-Second, you must have a new version of dejagnu on your system; dejagnu-1.3
-will not work.  We have made a  dejagnu snapshot
-ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/dejagnu-971028.tar.gz
-dejagnu snapshot available in ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/egcs/infrastructure until
-a new version of dejagnu can be released.
-
-Assuming you've got the testsuites unpacked and have installed an appropriate
-dejagnu, you can run the testsuite with "cd objdir; make -k check".
-This may take a long time.  Go get some lunch.
-
-The testing process will try to test as many components in the egcs
-distrubution as possible, including the C, C++ and Fortran compiler as
-well as the C++ runtime libraries.

-<title>Configuring egcs-1.0 </title>

-<body bgcolor="white">
-<h1 align="center">Configuring egcs-1.0</h1>
-
-<p>Like most GNU software, egcs must be configured before it can be built.
-This document attempts to describe the recommended configuration procedure
-for both native and cross targets.
-
-<p>We use <i>srcdir</i> to refer to the toplevel source directory for
-egcs; we use <i>objdir</i> to refer to the toplevel build/object
-directory for egcs.
-
-<p>First, we <b>highly</b> recommend that egcs be built into a separate
-directory than the sources.  This is how we generally build egcs; building
-where <i>srcdir</i> == <i>objdir</i> should still work, but doesn't get
-extensive testing.
-
-<p>Second, when configuring a native system, either "cc" must be in your
-path or you must set CC in your environment before running configure.
-Otherwise the configuration scripts may fail.
-
-<p>To configure egcs:
-
-<blockquote>
-<tt>
-  <br>% mkdir <i>objdir</i>
-  <br>% cd <i>objdir</i>
-  <br>% <i>srcdir</i>/configure <b>[target]</b> <b>[options]</b>
-</tt>
-</blockquote>
-
-
-<p><b>target specification</b>
-<ul>
-  <li> egcs has code to correctly determine the correct value for
-  <b>target</b> for nearly all native systems.  Therefore, we highly
-  recommend you not provide a configure target when configuring a
-  native compiler.
-
-  <li> <b>target</b> must be specified when configuring a cross compiler;
-  examples of valid targets would be i960-rtems, m68k-coff, sh-elf, etc.
-</ul>
-
-
-<p><b> options specification</b>
-
-<p>Use <b>options</b> to override several configure time options for
-egcs.  A partial list of supported <tt>options</tt>:
-
-<ul>
-  <li> <tt>--prefix=</tt><i>dirname</i> -- Specify the toplevel installation
-  directory.  This is the recommended way to install the tools into a directory
-  other than the default.  The toplevel installation directory defaults to
-  /usr/local.
-
-  <br>These additional options control where certain parts of the distribution
-  are installed.  Normally you should not need to use these options.
-  <ul>
-     <li> <tt>--with-local-prefix=</tt><i>dirname</i> -- Specify the installation
-     directory for local include files.  The default is /usr/local.
-
-     <li> <tt>--with-gxx-include-dir=</tt><i>dirname</i> -- Specify the installation
-     directory for g++ header files.  The default is /usr/local/include/g++.
-  </ul>
-
-  <li> <tt>--enable-shared</tt> -- Build shared versions of the C++ runtime
-  libraries if supported <tt>--disable-shared</tt> is the default.
-
-  <li> <tt>--enable-haifa</tt> -- Enable the new Haifa instruction scheduler in the
-  compiler; the new scheduler can significantly improve code on some targets.
-  <tt>--disable-haifa</tt> is currently the default on all platforms except the HPPA.
-
-  <li> <tt>--with-gnu-as</tt> -- Specify that the compiler should assume the GNU
-  assembler (aka gas) is available. 
-
-  <li> <tt>--with-gnu-ld</tt> -- Specify that the compiler should assume the GNU
-  linker (aka gld) is available. 
-
-  <li> <tt>--with-stabs</tt> -- Specify that stabs debugging information should be used
-  instead of whatever format the host normally uses.  Normally GCC uses the
-  same debug format as the host system. 
-
-  <li> <tt>--enable-multilib</tt> -- Specify that multiple target libraries
-  should be built to support different target variants, calling conventions,
-  etc.  This is the default. 
-
-  <li> <tt>--enable-threads</tt> -- Specify that the target supports threads.
-  This only effects the Objective-C compiler and runtime library.
-
-  <li> <tt>--enable-threads=</tt><i>lib</i> -- Specify that <i>lib</i> is the
-  thread support library.  This only effects the Objective-C compiler  and
-  runtime library.
-
-  <li> <tt>--with-cpu=</tt><i>cpu</i> -- Specify which cpu variant the compiler should
-  generate code for by default.  This is currently only supported on the
-  RS6000/PowerPC ports.
-</ul>
-
-<p>Some options which only apply to building cross compilers:
-<ul>
-  <li> <tt>--with-headers=</tt><i>dir</i> -- Specifies a directory which has target
-  include files.
-  <li> <tt>--with-libs=</tt><i>dirs</i> -- Specifies a list of directories which contain
-  the target runtime libraries.
-  <li> <tt>--with-newlib</tt> -- Specifies that "newlib" is being used as the target
-  C library.   This causes __eprintf to be omitted from libgcc.a on the
-  assumption that it will be provided by newlib.
-</ul>
- 
-<p>Note that each <tt>--enable</tt> option has a corresponding <tt>--disable</tt> option and
-that each <tt>--with</tt> option has a corresponding <tt>--without</tt> option.

-<h2><a name="gcc-2-diff">How is egcs be different from gcc2?</a></h2>
-
-<p>Six years ago, gcc version 1 had reached a point of stability.  For the
-targets it could support, it worked well.  It had limitations inherent in
-its design that would be difficult to resolve, so a major effort was made
-and gcc version 2 was the result.  When we had gcc2 in a useful state,
-development efforts on gcc1 stopped and we all concentrated on making
-gcc2 better than gcc1 could ever be.  This is the kind of step forward
-we want to make with egcs.
-
-<p>In brief, the three biggest differences between egcs and gcc2 are
-these:  
-
-<ul>
-  <li>More rexamination of basic architectual decisions of
-    gcc and an interest in adding new optimizations;
-
-  <li>working with the groups who have fractured out from gcc2 (like
-   the Linux folks, the Intel optimizations folks, Fortran folks)
-   including more front-ends; and finally
-
-  <li>An open development model (<a
-   href="#open-development">see below</a>) for the development process.
-</ul>
-
-<p>These three differences will work together to result in a more
-useful compiler, a more stable compiler, a central compiler that works
-for more people, a compiler that generates better code.  
-
-
-<p>There are a lot of exciting compiler optimizations that have come
-out.  We want them in gcc.  There are a lot of front ends out there for
-gcc for languages like Fortran or Pascal.  We want them easily
-installable by users.  After six years of working on gcc2, we've come
-to see problems and limitations in the way gcc is architected; it is
-time to address these again.
-
-<hr>
-<h2><a name="open-development">What is an open development model?</a></h2>
-
-<p>With egcs, we are going to try a bazaar style<a
-href="#cathedral-vs-bazaar"><b>[1]</b></a> approach to its
-development:  We're going to be making snapshots publically available
-to anyone who wants to try them; we're going to welcome anyone to join
-the development mailing list.  All of the discussions on the
-development mailing list are available via the web.  We're going to be
-making releases with a much higher frequency than they have been made
-in the past:  We're shooting for three by the end of 1997.
-
-<p>In addition to weekly snapshots of the egcs development sources, we
-are going to look at making the sources readable from a CVS server by
-anyone.  We want to make it so external maintainers of parts of egcs
-are able to commit changes to their part of egcs directly into the
-sources without going through an intermediary.
-
-<p>There have been many potential gcc developers who were not able to
-participate in gcc development in the past.  We these people to help in
-any way they can; we ultimately want gcc to be the best compiler in the
-world.
-
-<p>A compiler is a complicated piece of software, there will still be
-strong central maintainers who will reject patches, who will demand
-documentation of implementations, and who will keep the level of
-quality as high as it is today.  Code that could use wider testing may
-be intergrated--code that is simply ill-conceived won't be.
-
-<p>egcs is not the first piece of software to use this open development
-process; FreeBSD, the Emacs lisp repository, and Linux are a few
-examples of the bazaar style of development.
-
-<p>With egcs, we will be adding new features and optimizations at a
-rate that has not been done since the creation of gcc2; these additions
-will inevitably have a temporarily destabilizing effect.  With the help
-of developers working together with this bazaar style development, the
-resulting stability and quality levels will be better than we've had
-before.
-
-<blockquote>
-<a name="cathedral-vs-bazaar"><b>[1]</b></a> 
-  We've been discussing different development models a lot over the
-  past few months.  The paper which started all of this introduced two
-  terms:  A <b>cathedral</b> development model versus a <b>bazaar</b>
-  development model.  The paper is written by Eric S. Raymond, it is
-  called ``<a
-  href="http://locke.ccil.org/~esr/writings/cathedral.html">The
-  Cathedral and the Bazaar</a>''.  The paper is a useful starting point
-  for discussions.

-<hr>
-<h2><a name="libc-lock">bits/libc-lock.h: No such file or directory</a></h2>
-<p>egcs includes a tightly integrated libio and libstdc++ implementation which
-can cause problems on hosts which have libio integrated into their C library
-(most notably Linux).
-
-<p>We believe that we've solved the major technical problems for the most
-common versions of libc found on Linux systems.  However, some versions
-of Linux use pre-release versions of glibc2, which egcs has trouble detecting
-and correctly handling.
-
-<p>If you're using one of these pre-release versions of glibc2, you may get
-a message "bits/libc-lock.h: No such file or directory" when building egcs.
-Unfortunately, to fix this problem you will need to update your C library to
-glibc2.0.5c.
-
-<p>Late breaking news: we may have at least a partial solution for these
-problems.  So this FAQ entry may no longer be needed.
-
-<hr>
-<h2><a name="morelibc">`_IO_stdfile_0_lock' was not declared in this scope</a></h2>
-<p>If you get this error, it means either egcs incorrectly guessed what version
-of libc is installed on your linux system, or you incorrectly specified a
-version of glibc when configuring egcs.
-
-<p>If you did not provide a target name when configuring egcs, then you've
-found a bug which needs to be reported.  If you did provide a target name at
-configure time, then you should reconfigure without specifying a target name.
-
-<hr>
-<h2><a name="fortran">Problems building the Fortran compiler</a></h2>
-<p>The Fortran front end can not be built with most vendor compilers; it must
-be built with gcc.  As a result, you may get an error if you do not follow
-the install instructions carefully.
-
-<p>In particular, instead of using "make" to build egcs, you should use
-"make bootstrap" if you are building a native compiler or "make cross"
-if you are building a cross compiler.
-
-<p>It has also been reported that the Fortran compiler can not be built     
-on Red Hat 4.X linux for the Alpha.  Fixing this may require upgrading
-binutils or to Red Hat 5.0; we'll provide more information as it becomes  
-available.                                                               
-
-<hr>
-<h2><a name="mips">Problems building on MIPS platforms</a></h2>
-<p>egcs requires the use of GAS on all versions of Irix, except Irix 6 due
-to limitations in older Irix assemblers.
-
-<p> Either of these messages indicates that you are using the MIPS assembler
-when instead you should be using GAS.
-
-<pre>
-    as0: Error: ./libgcc2.c, line 1:Badly delimited numeric literal
-          .4byte $LECIE1-$LSCIE1
-    as0: Error: ./libgcc2.c, line 1:malformed statement

-    as0: Error: /home/law/egcs_release/gcc/libgcc2.c, line 1:undefined symbol in expression
-    .word $LECIE1-$LSCIE1
-
-</pre>
-
-
-<p> For Irix 6, you should use the native assembler as GAS is not supported
-on Irix 6.
-
-<hr>
-<h2> <a name="x86eh">Problems with exception handling on x86 platforms</a></h2>
-<p>If you are using the GNU assembler (aka gas) on an x86 platform and
-exception handling is not working correctly, then odds are you're using a
-buggy assembler.
-
-<p>We recommend binutils-2.8.0.1.15 or newer.
-<br><a href="ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/binutils-2.8.1.0.15.tar.gz"> binutils-2.8.0.1.15 source</a>
-<br><a href="ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/binutils-2.8.1.0.15.bin.tar.gz"> binutils-2.8.0.1.15 x86 binary for libc5</a>
-<br><a href="ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/binutils-2.8.1.0.15.glibc.bin.tar.gz"> binutils-2.8.0.1.15 x86 binary for glibc2</a>
-Or, you can try a
-<a href="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/gas-970915.tar.gz"> binutils snapshot</a>; however, be aware that the binutils snapshot is untested
-and may not work (or even build).  Use it at your own risk.
-
-<hr>
-<h2> <a name="hpcompare">Bootstrap comparison failures on HPs</a></h2>
-<p>If you bootstrap the compiler on hpux10 using the HP assembler instead of
-gas, every file will fail the comparison test.
-
-<p>The HP asembler inserts timestamps into object files it creates, causing
-every file to be different.  The location of the timestamp varies for each
-object file, so there's no real way to work around this mis-feature.
-
-<p>Odds are your compiler is fine, but there's no way to be certain.
-
-<p>If you use GAS on HPs, then you will not run into this problem because
-GAS never inserts timestamps into object files.  For this and various other
-reasons we highly recommend using GAS on HPs.
-
-<hr>
-<h2> <a name="makebugs">Bootstrap loops rebuilding cc1 over and over</a></h2>
-<p>When building egcs, the build process loops rebuilding cc1 over and
-over again.  This happens on mips-sgi-irix5.2, and possibly other platforms.
-
-<p>This is probably a bug somewhere in the egcs Makefile.  Until we find and
-fix this bug we recommend you use GNU make instead of vendor supplied make
-programs.
-
-<hr>
-<h2> <a name="rpath">Dynamic linker is unable to find GCC libraries</a></h2>
-<p>This problem manifests itself by programs not finding shared libraries
-they depend on when the programs are started.  Note this problem often manifests
-itself with failures in the libio/libstdc++ tests after configuring with
---enable-shared and building egcs.
-
-<p>GCC does not specify a runpath so that the dynamic linker can find dynamic
-libraries at runtime.
-
-<p>The short explaination is that if you always pass a -R option to the
-linker, then your programs become dependent on directories which
-may be NFS mounted, and programs may hang unnecessarily when an
-NFS server goes down.
-
-<p>The problem is not programs that do require the directories; those
-programs are going to hang no matter what you do.  The problem is
-programs that do not require the directories.
-
-<p>SunOS effectively always passed a -R option for every -L option;
-this was a bad idea, and so it was removed for Solaris.  We should
-not recreate it.
-
-<hr>
-<h2> <a name="dejagnu">Unable to run the testsuite</a></h2>
-<p>If you get a message about unable to find "standard.exp" when trying to
-run the egcs testsuites, then your dejagnu is too old to run the egcs tests.
-You will need to get a newer version of dejagnu; we've made a
-<a href="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/dejagnu-971028.tar.gz">
-dejagnu snapshot</a> available until a new version of dejagnu can be released.
-
-<hr>
-<h2> <a name="cross">How to build a cross compiler</a></h2>
-<p> Building cross compilers is a rather complex undertaking because they
-usually need additional software (cross assembler, cross linker, target
-libraries, target include files, etc).
-
-<p> We recommend reading the <a href="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/embedded/crossgcc/FAQ-0.8.1">
-crossgcc FAQ</a> for information about building cross compilers.
-
-<p> If you have all the pieces available, then `make cross' should build a
-cross compiler.  `make LANGUAGES="c c++" install'will install the cross
-compiler.
-
-<p> Note that if you're trying to build a cross compiler in a tree which
-includes binutils-2.8 in addition to egcs, then you're going to need to
-make a couple minor tweaks so that the cross assembler, linker and
-nm utilities will be found.
-
-<p>binutils-2.8 builds those files as gas.new, ld.new and nm.new; egcs gcc
-looks for them using gas-new, ld-new and nm-new, so you may have to arrange
-for any symlinks which point to &ltfile&gt.new to be changed to &ltfile&gt-new.
-
-<hr>
-<h2> <a name="snapshot">Snapshots, how, when, why</a></h2>
-<p> We make snapshots of the egcs sources about once a week; there is no
-predetermined schedule.  These snapshots are intended to give everyone
-access to work in progress.  Any given snapshot may generate incorrect code
-or even fail to build.

-<p>If you plan on downloading and using snapshots, we highly recommend you
-subscribe to the egcs mailing lists.  See <a href="index.html#mailinglists">
-mailing lists</a> on the main egcs page for instructions on how to subscribe.
-
-<p>When using the diff files to update from older snapshots to newer snapshots,
-make sure to use "-E" and "-p" arguments to patch so that empty files are
-deleted and full pathnames are provided to patch.  If your version of
-patch does not support "-E", you'll need to get a newer version.  Also note
-that you may need autoconf, autoheader and various other programs if you use
-diff files to update from one snapshot to the next.

-<h2> <a name="multiple">How to install both egcs and gcc2</a></h2>
-<p>It may be desirable to install both egcs and gcc2 on the same system.  This
-can be done by using different prefix paths at configure time and a few
-symlinks.
-
-<p>Basically, configure the two compilers with different --prefix options,
-then build and install each compiler.  Assume you want "gcc" to be the egcs
-compiler and available in /usr/local/bin; also assume that you want "gcc2"
-to be the gcc2 compiler and also available in /usr/local/bin.
-
-<p>The easiest way to do this is to configure egcs with --prefix=/usr/local/egcs
-and gcc2 with --prefix=/usr/local/gcc2.  Build and install both compilers.
-Then make a symlink from /usr/local/bin/gcc to /usr/local/egcs/bin/gcc and
-from /usr/local/bin/gcc2 to /usr/local/gcc2/bin/gcc.  Create similar links
-for the "g++", "c++" and "g77" compiler drivers.

-<h2> <a name="linuxkernel">Problems building Linux kernels</a></h2>
-<p>If you installed a recent binutils/gas snapshot on your Linux system,
-you may not be able to build the kernel because objdump does not understand
-the "-k" switch.  The solution for this problem is to remove /usr/bin/encaps.
-
-<p>You may get an internal compiler error compiling process.c in newer
-versions of the Linux kernel on x86 machines.  This is a bug in an asm
-statement in process.c, not a bug in egcs.  XXX How to fix?!?
-
-<p>You may get errors with the X driver of the form 
-<pre>
-_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
-</pre>
-
-<p>It's a kernel bug. The function sys_iopl in arch/i386/kernel/process.c
-does an illegal hack which used to work but is now broken since GCC optimizes
-more aggressively . The newer 2.1.x kernels already have a fix which should
-also work in 2.0.32.
-
-<hr>
-<h2> <a name="memexhausted">Virtual memory exhausted error</a></h2>
-<p> This error means your system ran out of memory; this can happen for large
-files, particularly when optimizing.  If you're getting this error you should
-consider trying to simplify your files or reducing the optimization level.
-
-<p>Note that using -pedantic or -Wreturn-type can cause an explosion in the
-amount of memory needed for template-heavy C++ code, such as code that uses
-STL.  Also note that -Wall includes -Wreturn-type, so if you use -Wall you
-will need to specify -Wno-return-type to turn it off.
-
-<hr>
-<h2> <a name="gas">GCC can not find GAS</a></h2>
-<p>Some configurations like irix4, irix5, hpux* require the use of the GNU
-assembler intead of the system assembler.  To ensure that egcs finds the GNU
-assembler, you should configure the GNU assembler with the same --prefix
-option as you used for egcs.  Then build & install the GNU assembler.
-

-<h2> <a name="rh5.0">egcs does not work on Red Hat 5.0</a></h2>
-<p> egcs does not currently work with Red Hat 5.0; we'll update this
-entry with more information as it becomes available.

-<h1 align="center">Installing egcs-1.0</h1>
-
-<p>This document describes the generic installation procedure for egcs as
-well as detailing some target specific installation instructions for egcs.
-
-<p>egcs includes several components that previously were separate distributions
-with their own installation instructions.  This document supercedes all 
-package specific installation instructions.  We provide the component specific
-installation information in the source distribution for historical reference
-purposes only.
-
-<p>We recommend you read the entire generic installation instructions as
-well as any target specific installation instructions before you proceed
-to configure, build, test and install egcs.
-
-<p>If something goes wrong in the configure, build, test or install
-procedures, first double check that you followed the generic and target
-specific installation instructions carefully.  Then check the 
-<a href="faq.html">FAQ</a> to see if your problem is covered before you file
-a bug report.
-
-<p>The installation procedure is broken into four steps.
-
-<ul>
-
-  <li> <a href="configure.html">configure</a>
-  <li> <a href="build.html">build</a>

-No specific installation needs/instructions.
-
-
-<p><b>i?86-*-linux*</b><br>
-You will need binutils-2.8.1.0.15 or newer for exception handling to work.
-
-<p><b>i?86-*-sco3.2v5*</b><br>
-The SCO assembler is currently required.    The GNU assembler is not up
-to the task of switching between ELF and COFF at runtime.
-
-<br>Unlike various prereleases of GCC, that used '-belf' and defaulted to 
-COFF, you must now use the '-melf' and '-mcoff' flags to toggle between 
-the two object file formats.     ELF is now the default.
-
-<br>Look in gcc/config/i386/sco5.h (search for "messy") for additional
-OpenServer-specific flags.
-
-<br>Systems based on OpenServer before 5.0.4 (<code>uname -X</code> will
-tell you what you're running) require TLS597 from ftp.sco.com/TLS for
-C++ constructors and destructors to work right.
-
-<p><b>hppa*-hp-hpux*</b><br>
-We <b>highly</b> recommend using gas/binutils-2.8 on all hppa platforms; you
-may encounter a variety of problems when using the HP assembler.
-
-XXX How to make sure gcc finds/uses gas.
-
-<p><b>hppa*-hp-hpux9</b><br>
-The HP assembler has major problems on this platform.  We've tried to work
-around the worst of the problems.  However, those workarounds may be causing
-linker crashes in some circumstances; the workarounds also probably prevent
-shared libraries from working.  Use the GNU assembler to avoid these problems.
-
-<br>The configuration scripts for egcs will also trigger a bug in the hpux9
-shell.  To avoid this problem set CONFIG_SHELL to /bin/ksh and SHELL to
-/bin/ksh in your environment.
-
-<p><b>hppa*-hp-hpux10</b><br>
-For hpux10.20, we <b>highly</b> recommend you pick up the latest sed
-patch from HP.  HP has two sites which provide patches free of charge.
-
-<br><a href="http://us-support.external.hp.com">US, Canada, Asia-Pacific, and
-Latin-America</a>
-<br><a href="http://europe-support.external.hp.com">Europe</a>
-
-<p>Retrieve patch PHCO_12862.
-
-<p>The HP assembler on these systems is much better than the hpux9 assembler,
-but still has some problems.  Most notably the assembler inserts timestamps
-into each object file it creates, causing the 3-stage comparison test to fail
-during a "make bootstrap".  You should be able to continue by saying "make all"
-after getting the failure from "make bootstrap".
-
-<p><b>m68k-*-nextstep*</b><br>
-You absolutely must use GNU sed and GNU make on this platform.  
-
-<p>If you try to build the integrated C++ & C++ runtime libraries on this system
-you will run into trouble with include files.  The way to get around this is
-to use the following sequence.  Note you must have write permission to
-<i>prefix</i> for this sequence to work.
-
-<p>cd <i>objdir</i><br>
-make all-texinfo all-bison all-byacc all-binutils all-gas all-ld<br>

-It is reported that you may need the GNU assembler on this platform.
-
-<p><b>mips*-sgi-irix4</b><br>
-<b>mips*-sgi-irix5</b><br>
-You must use GAS on these platforms, the native assembler can not handle the
-code for exception handling support on this platform.
-
-<p>These systems don't have ranlib, which various components in egcs need; you
-should be able to avoid this problem by installing GNU binutils, which includes
-a functional ranlib for this system.
-
-<p>You may get the following warning on irix4 platforms, it can be safely
-ignored.
-<pre>
-    warning: foo.o does not have gp tables for all its sections.

-
-<p><b>mips*-sgi-irix6</b><br>
-You must not use GAS on irix6 platforms; doing so will only cause problems.
-
-<p>These systems don't have ranlib, which various components in egcs need; you
-should be able to avoid this problem by making a dummy script called ranlib
-which just exits with zero status and placing it in your path.
-

-At least one person as reported problems with older versions of gnu-make on

-You will need

-
-<p>Before you install egcs, you might wish to run the egcs testsuite; this
-step is optional and may require you to download additional software.
-
-<p>First, you must have downloaded the egcs testsuites; the full distribution
-contains testsuites.  If you downloaded the "core" compiler plus any front
-ends, then you do not have the testsuites.  You can download the testsuites
-from the same site where you downloaded the core distribution and language
-front ends.
-
-<p>Second, you must have a new version of dejagnu on your system; dejagnu-1.3
-will not work.  We have made a 
-<a href="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/dejagnu-971028.tar.gz">
-dejagnu snapshot</a> available in ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/egcs/infrastructure until
-a new version of dejagnu can be released.
-
-<p>Assuming you've got the testsuites unpacked and have installed an appropriate
-dejagnu, you can run the testsuite with "cd <i>objdir</i>; make -k check".
-This may take a long time.  Go get some lunch.
-
-<p>The testing process will try to test as many components in the egcs
-distrubution as possible, including the C, C++ and Fortran compiler as
-well as the C++ runtime libraries.
