Using the tm-next.h file that Richard Stallman sent me (and which I
later posted to comp.sys.next) I was able to install gcc-1.36
successfully on a NeXT running version 1.0 of the NeXT OS.

I recently discovered that /usr/include/stddef.h defines two
names that are not defined in gcc-include/stddef.h.  There is a
typedef of wchan_t and the extern int errno.  Unless these are defined
in the include file that gcc finds, other include files like
/usr/include/math.h give syntax errors.  I'm not sure if it is best to
delete gcc-include/stddef.h or to modify it to match
/usr/include/stddef.h

There are other, more serious problems with include files on the NeXT.
Some of the standard include files such as /usr/include/machine/mach.h
use the non-standard compiler directive #import, but this is a problem
for NeXT to address.
