egcs-971201 on alphaev56-dec-osf4.0b, compile problems in g77

[Klaus Kaempf]

I tried to build (just with 'configure' and 'make') egcs-971201 on an
AlphaServer 4100 4/466 with DEC 4.0B (alphaev56-dec-osf4.0b) but ran
into a small problem in g77. All other programs and tests ran without
problems.

It tries to compile f/bad.c with DEC C but GNU C compiler options (-W -Wall)
which gave a 'syntax error' from DEC C.

Can someone please check the makefile for this problem ?

I only had temporary access to this machine and couldn't to further testing,
but is sure was fun compiling egcs in 2 minutes ! :-)

What command did you use to try and build egcs?

If you follow the recommended build procedure the Fortran compiler will
only be built with GCC.

This is mentioned in the FAQ, under Problems building the Fortran compiler.
Basically, you should have done a `make bootstrap' command instead of a `make'
command.
