Can't help with those, but I just built both COFF and ELF versions for SCO OpenServer 5 and used the assembler to rebuild itself. I realize this is not an exhaustive test. Since this is an x86 UNIX, it may help your confidence on those targets. I have used the 96q2 progressives much more and feel pretty good about them. > Please let me know about any problems, so that they can be fixed > before the final release. I don't want to drag out the testing The configure and build was nice and boring. Excellent work, guys! Other than the problem you and I discussed privately, I have only a few documention patches to offer. *** gas/NEWS_ Fri Jun 28 11:38:02 1996 --- gas/NEWS Mon Jul 8 13:29:36 1996 *************** *** 16,22 **** i386/PowerPC gnu-win32 support added. !
