Unable to compile gcc 2.95.3 on NCR 4.0

Unable to compile gcc 2.95.3 on NCR 4.0

[Brother Tuck]

Hi,
I'm just trying to compile gcc 2.95.3 on i586-ncr-sysv4.3.03.
Compiling the gcc using an old gcc 2.7.2.x I get a coredump when the file 
gencheck is launched. This segmentation fault occured only if the tools 
gencheck is compiled using stage1.
My second test was to compile gcc using the c native compiler:

NCR High Performance C Compiler R3.0c
(c) Copyright 1994-98, NCR Corporation
(c) Copyright 1987-98, MetaWare Incoporated

Here I get a compilation error because INT_MAX, which is normally define in 
the file gcc/glimits.h, is not defined. Ok, I can correct such errors but 
the problem is that normally the definition of INT_MAX should read from 
glimits.h but in this case that means that INT_MAX is already defined or no 
definitions use in glimits.h is used.

If someone have found the same problem on NCR or another system, please tell 
what's wrong and howto correct this problem safely.

Regards,
Emmanuel Soden

Presumably this platform was never tested.  Could you try 2.95.2 and
see if that works?  If neither work, then I guess the thing will have
to be ported to work on your platform.

I have tested both gcc 2.95.2 and 2.95.3 and with the same result.
I guess that port should be interresting for me.

There are not many such machines in the world, and none of the active gcc
maintainers have one AFAIK.  If you want it to run, you may need to help
figure out what the problem is.

Thank's a lot for your help I have successfully compiled the gcc.
I think that the method to compile a gcc on NCR should in the specific.txt 
document. It would be interresting that the gcc team add the tips from 
Tanes.

I've sucessfully compiled 2.95.2 (and use it since it was released) and
2.95.3 without any problems without any changes a bit from source. First
I build binutils the newest version (mine is 2.10) using stock compiler
(NCR High Performance C Compiler 3.0 - package scde) and gnu make
3.79.1. Then, I build gcc 2.7.2.x. After that I make bootstrap gcc
2.95.2. Then you can use gcc 2.95.2 to make bootstrap gcc 2.95.3.
