   OS:  VMS 5.1-1
   GCC: Version 1.36

   I'm am trying to recompile the executable using the executable supplied
   at prep.ai.mit.edu in gcc-vms.tar.Z.  This is what I did:

      In the vms-gcc directory:

          $ @gcc_install     ! set up the logicals for Gnu C
          $ @install_bison   ! set up the logicals for Bison
          $ set comm bison   ! set up the command BISON
          $ set comm gcc     ! set up the command GCC

      In the gcc-1.36 directory:

          $ @config_gcc      ! link the appropriate .h files for Gnu C
          $ @make            ! start the recompilation

   What I get is:

      (under GCC ..... cccp.c)

      cccp.c:89: warning: empty declaration
      cccp.c:90: warning: empty declaration
      cccp.c:91: warning: empty declaration
      cccp.c:92: warning: empty declaration

      (those are not too bad, just warnings)

      (under GCC ..... c-parse_tab.c)

      /gp/rms/cc/c-parse.y:1423: parse error before `static'
      /gp/rms/cc/c-parse.y:1423: parse error before `struct'

      (these are the ones that don't let me link - no object file created)

      (under GCC ..... loop.c)

      loop.c:194: warning: empty declaration
      loop.c:195: warning: empty declaration


   I tried to reBison c-parse.y and I got the same result.

   The c-parse_tab.c is the one that came with the distribution file 
   gcc-1.36.tar.Z.

   What do I do now?
