Hi,

I tried to compile the gcc 2.8.0 sources under go32-msdos (DJGPP), with
the current version of djgpp. That is a stabs-debug patched an cygnus
repository patched gcc 2.7.2.1 and bin-utils 2.7 (havn't installed 2.8.1
yet). the configure.bat file dosn't work, however the './configure
--host=i386-go32-msdos --with-stabs --prefix=c:/gnu' bash script does
(after installing most of the gnu unix utils that is :). I then edited
the produced ./config.status to replace 'ln -s' with 'cp' and ran it. I
then edited all produced makefiles (./makefile ./cp/makefile
./objc/makefile) to disable debug info in all objects (I havn't got
enough disk space :< )

after typing: ./make it runs for quite a while ( 486dx66, 20mb ram
argh). But stops with an error in compiling libgcc2.c (line 1724,
includeing sting.h) on some syntax error.

Is this my error, gnu's distributor or some other thingy I overlooked?

please let me know if you know an answer to my problem,

thanks

Peter
