I have successfully built a COFF version of gcc under Xenix using Xenix
gcc (OMF) as the initial compiler (not for gnulib - compiled those to asm on
a Sun386i). I've also successfully used gld, gas and gdb to debug COFF
executables. The system is somewhat restricted since I don't have an
absoultely complete COFF library set (I used the MINIX library sources
and the system call stuff in gas from a guy in Finland).

The patches for Xenix gcc/gas/gdb are not that large. They were posted to
alt.sources some time back.

		Hope this helps,
