Re: egcs 1.0.2

[Jim Wilson <wilson@cygnus.com>]

	The includedir was added in an attempt to let the config command
	find my local tcl & tk installation (without any success it seems :-( )

EGCS doesn't know anything about tcl/tk, so this isn't going to do anything
useful anways.

Dejagnu uses tcl/expect, but using your local copy is probably not a good
idea.  We know it works with the libraries included in the dejagnu package.
We don't know if it works with your local versions of the libraries.

     * make -k check didn't run any testsuites in the gcc area, and
       the only part being tested seems to be libio.  Anyway, the test
       completes after 4 min on an Ultra-30 which tells me that not very
       much has been tested.  Do these tests require a full install of
       dejagnu?  configure in dejagnu ended up with
       "... no X based programs will be installed."

What kind of output did you actually get?  I can't help if I have no idea
what output you got.  There probably is something wrong, but I have no idea
what.

You can ignore the dejagnu configure warning.  `make check' does not invoke
any X based programs, so the fact that they aren't built is not a problem.

     * there are a few compiler warnings, both when building stage1 using
       native sun cc, and when building stage{N} using stage{N-1}.

You can ignore the warnings.

In general, it may not be possible to make the source code warning free for
all possible compilers for all configurations.

We deliberately added -Wall to the stage2/stage3 builds to help find bugs,
and we are slowly in the process of adding patches to eliminate the gcc
warnings.

     * although I provided a program-prefix to configure, the programs
       installed still have the standard names (gcc, g++ etc), I'd expected
       egcs-gcc, egcs-g++ etc.

Offhand, I don't know.  I haven't tried using this option.

     * rtti - is there any reason why typeinfo.h is not shipped with egcs?
       I noticed that typeinfo.h was part of libg++2.7.2, but not in 2.8.x!!

I don't know.
