Hey does anybody have information on the following?

If Solaris is installed in 32bit mode, is there any degree of confidence that a
plain 
vanilla native installation of gcc-2.95.2 has a chance of working?

I have installed it and it _appears_ to work although I installed using
bootstrap as the 
make target i.e. make bootstrap rather than stepping through the stage1, stage2
and the check targets.

Am I on thin ice here or what? any feedback is appreciated,
Thanks,
Warrick

It will work for C code. It will have a number of problems with C++
code, resulting for 

a) a limitation in /usr/ccs/bin/as might result in Solaris rejecting
   valid assembler code generated by g++.

b) a feature of GNU ld (linkonce) is not supported by /usr/ccs/bin/ld,
   which will result in larger-than-necessary executables.

Regards,
Martin
