In the gcc-3.3.1 directory I make an "osr5" directory. cd into that and then execute: CC=gcc CFLAGS=-O2 CXX=g++ CXXFLAGS=-O2 NM=gnm ../configure \
--with-gnu-as \ --with-as=/usr/gnu/bin/as \ --disable-shared \ --with-system-zlib \ --enable-multilib \ --host=i586-pc-sco3.2v5.0 \ --build=i586-pc-sco3.2v5.0This assumes you have my latest GNU Development Tools package installed and that /usr/gnu/bin appears on your PATH *before* /usr/local/bin. This passes the vast majority of its internal DejaGNU tests. Its about the best shape GCC has been in on OSR5 in a long while. But there are problems, especially with C++. The way they handle template instantiation is awkward. You may find you need to link C++ programs and shared libraries with -Wl,-z -Wl,multidefs. The real solution is for us to change our link editor to recognize these .gnu.linkonce sections and obey them, or to get the GNU link editor working on OSR5, something I am fairly close to getting right but it is still a way off. But at least this gets you most of the way there. I am curious to know how this works out for you.
This set of patches adds full support for gjc, the GNU Java Compiler.
