Problems compiling with gcc 2.95 on DU4.0D

Problems compiling with gcc 2.95 on DU4.0D

[Anthony Lee]

When compiling some C++ code I get the following error. How can I fix it?

as0: Warning: tlgFile.cpp, line 6: Line too long
      
I won't repeat the stuff after that but it all seems to be some confused
assembler code.

Thanks Alexandre, I did try installing gas. The standard as for DU4.0D
lives in /usr/bin and so I pointed that to gas. The problem was that
when then I compile again it complain that as didn't know the -O0 switch.

Getting gcc not to generate the long assembler strings

[Anthony Lee]

Dear all,

I have tried several attempts to compile some C++ code. I have both 
compiled 2.95.2 using Digital Unix 4.0D native cc and also downloaded
a built version form www.thewrittenword.com. Both version seems to use
Digital Unix 4.0D native as instead of gas. Therefore I tried build
gas but when I configure gas (binutils 2.9.1) with CC=gcc (the one
built with DU 4.0D cc) it complains that gcc would fail the config
test. Is there anyway around this?

What I thought was

1. build gcc using native cc
2. build gas with the gcc from 1.
3. rebuild gcc using gas

but step 2 would not even get past the config stage

The error I get from step 2 is:

The command 'gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c' failed

Another words binutils configure thinks that the gcc from step
1 is not working correctly.

Help???

BTW, I did use and -fsquangle. It does compile my C++ code but
I thought the faq said not to rely on it.

Huh?  AFAIK, binutils' GAS doesn't support Digital Unix yet.

What is the variable ASM_FILE_START?

[Anthony Lee]

I am attempting to build gcc2.95.2 on a Digital Unix 5.0 box.

I ran configure with no option
and then 
make bootstrap

But I got an
Unresolved:
ASM_FILE_START 

during the ld phase. (Using DU 5.0 ld)

What is the variable ASM_FILE_START? 
What should it be set to?

Thank you

GCC 2.95.2 doesn't support DU 5.0.  You may be able to find some
patches that correct this, though.  IIRC, the problem is just that it
doesn't recognize alpha*-dec-osf5.* is something similar to osf4.*.
