OK, a combination of Kazuro FURUKAWA, Valerie Thevenin, Paul Reilly, and
Brian Schau helped out here.
The Written Word and others insist that gcc 2.95.3 won't build on 5.1
However we've already used it to successfully build the zthreads library.
This is what worked for me edited from what Paul Reilly said on this list a
while ago updated for my experiences with 2.95.3 - Paul was working with
2.95.2.
Thinks - I'd have found this earlier if in the SUMMARY subject lines folks
consistently mentioned gcc and Tru64 versions.
1. Edit ~/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/configure
Look for the lines that read:
*-*-osf4*)
tm_file="${tm_file} alpha/osf.h"
# Some versions of OSF4 (specifically X4.0-9 296.7) have
# a broken tar, so we use cpio instead.
install_headers_dir=install-headers-cpio
;;
esac
case $machine in
*-*-osf4.0[b-z] | *-*-osf4.[1-9]*)
target_cpu_default=MASK_SUPPORT_ARCH
;;
esac
Change them to:
*-*-osf[45]*)
tm_file="${tm_file} alpha/osf.h"
# Some versions of OSF4 (specifically X4.0-9 296.7) have
# a broken tar, so we use cpio instead.
install_headers_dir=install-headers-cpio
;;
esac
case $machine in
*-*-osf4.0[b-z] | *-*-osf4.[1-9]*| *-*-osf5*)
target_cpu_default=MASK_SUPPORT_ARCH
;;
esac
2. Then create a shell script called "as" in /sbin that contains:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/as -oldas $*
Make sure this is in your PATH ahead of /usr/bin/as
NOTE: gcc 2.95.3 no longer checks for as in $PATH - you need to specify
it
at the configure line with "with-as="
3. Now gcc should build correctly:
./configure --with-as=/sbin/as
make bootstrap
make install
