Re: Problem compiling gcc 2.95.2 on DEC Station 3000

[Anthony Lee <al012@energex.com.au>]

Is there reason why you need the latest gcc? You might be able to
get an older version working? In addition, I believe that 
DEC used to supply another CD of associated products. You might find
a version of gcc on there that might work with Ultrix 4.3 but I think
it might too old.
