Problem compiling gcc 2.95.2 on DEC Station 3000

Problem compiling gcc 2.95.2 on DEC Station 3000

[Bryant Fujimoto]

Hello,
  I am trying to compile gcc-core-2.95.2 on a DEC Station 3000
running ULTRIX V4.3 (Rev. 44)

after ./configure, I do 'make bootstrap-lean' and I get the
following error message (I also include the command which 
produced the error).

stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/ -B/usr/local/mips-dec-ultrix4.3/bin/ -c  -DIN_GCC
-O2 -g  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -I. -I. -I./config -I./../include cpplib.c
cpplib.c: In function `do_assert':
cpplib.c:2753: invalid operands to binary -
cpplib.c: In function `do_unassert':
cpplib.c:2829: invalid operands to binary -
make[2]: *** [cpplib.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/users/library/gcc-2.95.2/gcc'
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/users/library/gcc-2.95.2/gcc'
make: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 1

I realize that the DEC station is a rather old computer, but does
anyone have any idea what is causing this problem, and how to fix it?

Thanks,

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.
