Hello

Could you please direct me on how to change gcc so that it will translate
c/c++ files to an assembly language to a new instruction set that I am
building?

Thank you in advance
Amnon

Notably the chapters "Machine Descriptions" and "Target Description
Macros and Functions".

Leave the old files where they are, and just change your PATH
environment variable so that /usr/local/bin (or whereever you installed
the new gcc) is included at the start.

E.g. if you are using bash, you can add the following line to your
~/.bash_profile file:

	PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

Changing gcc

[djfm]

Hi!
I'm new to Linux , I am under mandrake 8.2 , and I wanted to upgrade my
gcc native compiler (2.96) to the last 3.2.2 , I downloaded it on
gcc.gnu.org , and followed the compilation instructions. Or I may
suppose to have done so. I've made a "make bootstrap" , all seem to have
worked correctly , now I have the binaries and libraries installed in
usr/local/ but they have not self-replaced the old ones. 
I have prefixes before app and folder names , such as
"i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc" ...
I dunno what to do , what file to rename nor where to put them.
Please answer *simply* , Im absolutly new to linux. 
Dont forget to explain the stupid etaps that I'm sure I would fail in.
Thx a lot by advance to all.

PS: I dunno whether I'm wrinting to a newsgroup or to an email. I'm not
used to  it , I apologize.
Anyway please answer by mail.
And sorry for my bad english.

Thx again.
