egcs-1.0.2 under SuSE Linux 5.1 (kernel 2.0.33)

[Jesper Wolf Jespersen]

I have sucessfully built egcs 1.0.2 under SuSE Linux 5.1, but I get some
results that dont seem to match the results posted on the egcs list. 
The Machine I am running on is a Intel Pentium II 300 Mhz, AL440LX
motherboard with 96 megs of ram and two SCSI disks under an Adaptec
controller. I Chose to use SuSE linux since it seems that their Adaptec
driver works. The redhat 5.0 I installed previously truly messed up my
drive so I had to low level format it. 
Well all the introductions aside here are my results from a make check:

The gnu C used for the initial compilation is 2.7.2.1 and 'ld' and 'as'
both report version 2.8.1. Finaly here is the contents of

I am a bit puzzled that som many exception handling tests went wrong. Is
this typical for this setup or is something wrong ?


I tried compiling the snapshot from March 21, but it didnt complete the
make check. So I went back to the latest release.

You probably need a newer version of the binutils package.

See < http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html#x86eh >.
