It should work right out of the box.   Describe what failed and what
"tweaks" were necessary.

By default, no shared libraries are generated in the egcs build for
that target.   Include a sample program, sample compile invocation, and
sizes of your binaries.

I have built EGCS on OpenServer without GAS approximately a billion times.
In fact, EGCS on OSR5 works substantially better with the native assembler
than with GAS.

GNU LD can't handle the bi-modal (COFF and ELF) native libraries.
It's easy to make GNU ld work about 60% of the time on OpenServer,
but the remaining 40% was hard enough that I left it turned off.

This is normal on that target.

No .so's are generated by default.

Problem: installing egcs 1.1.1 on SCO 5.0.2..

Hi all,

This has been brought up in the list several times already, but I couldn't
find a solution anywhere in the archives.

I'm trying to get egcs-1.1.1 to compile on a SCO OpenServer 5.0.2 machine
(TLS5something patch is installed). After a *lot* of retries, some tweaking
etc., I finally got it to compile. However, my binaries are absolutely
huge, and nothing seems to be in shared-library format. Without GAS it
wouldn't compile at all. Unfortunately binutils-2.9.1's GLD configure says
it won't compile on SCO, maybe GLD would have made some nice .so's..

I've included config.status below. My libgcc.a contains both ELF and COFF
objects, and I don't see any .so files in the generated files at all.

Am I doing something obviously wrong? Or did I overlook a solution in the
mailing list archives?

Cheers!
