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
