>Description:
I've attempted to follow the instructions to try and get
gcc-3.2.2 to compile on irix 5.3 (with the SGI 5.3 IDO 
installed and all available public patches applied)

I have a failure in the comparison section between
stages.  There is advice in the INSTALL/specifics.html
section to add '-save-temps' to CFLAGS.

Unfortunately this doesn't say which CFLAGS and in
any case attempting to follow this simply results in a
failure with the inability to see this as a valid flag.

Advice appreciated - it's also possible to give people
an account on this irix 5.3 box for gcc testing purposes.

Currently i am trying to get gcc 3.2.2 installed so that 
the mainainer of perl 5.8.0 can try porting using it
instead of sgi CC..

regards,

-jason
