Subject: gcc/gas/gdb/binutils 386 install

There have been several news articles asking about the installation of gcc
on 80386 machines under Microport 3.0e, Xenix or interactive Unix.

I have successfully installed and tested the GNU software development
tools including gcc, gas, gdb, and the binutils (ar, ld, nm, size) on
my ALR 386/220 under Microport 3.0e.  I copied this installation to
an HP Vectra 386 machine under Xenix 3.2 along with the uport C libraries
converted to GNU format. This installation has also
been successfully tested on some small programs.  

Prior to the GNU installation, I freed 30 Mb of disk of free disk space
to unpack the source and compile the programs.

If anyone has any questions about the details of these 2 installations,
I will be happy to respond with my "best guess" on the answers.  I do not
pretend to be an expert; however, the FREE SOFTWARE folks have done such
an outstanding job of coding and packaging that a well meaning amateur
can stumble through without messing up too badly.
