Has anyone tried to compile gcc-1.37.1 on a Pyramid under OSx 5.0d?
Gcc compiles ok under the Pyramid compiler but dies with 

/usr/local/bin/gcc -c -g   -I. -I. -I./config tree.c
as:
line 2403: operands clobber for this op on isis

when attempting to recompile with gcc ( in both universes). 

I'm attempting to produce gnuchess-3.1 and xchess.  Both compile
under the halfdone gcc but neither works. The results are similar 
to what I got under OSx 4.4c, Xchess displays half a screen and hangs
and gnuchess hangs forever ignoring every signal "known to man" :)
except 9.  Anyone have working binaries available by ftp?   

The upgrade went well except for turbo informix.  Do *not* use dd 
backups of the raw partition, dump the data to ascii.

Also the hardware upgrade mostly fixed my Megatapes.  Pyramid now has a 
list of rev and ucode levels needed to run Megatapes, though they
carefully point out that this does not mean they will support the
drives.
