I'm having real trouble getting g++ working on a Sun3 under SunOS 4.1.  This
is g++ version 1.37.0.  With Sun's assembler I get

cudcv (89) > as cmap.s
as: error (cmap.s:129): Invalid operand
Exit -1
cudcv (90) > cat -n cmap.s | tail -5
   125          jbsr a2@
   126          addw #20,sp
   127          movel sp@+,a2
   128          rts
   129  .stabs "___CTOR_LIST__",22,0,0,__GLOBAL_$I$cmlower
cudcv (91) > 

gas-1.37 will assemble this, but gives me get code files that dump core as
soon as you try to run them (I've posted a note to gnu.utils.bug about this).
Does anyone know what Sun's assembler is complaining about ?  It seems to only
be files that want to add to the __CTOR_LIST__ that it complains about.  With
gas this gives a symbol table entry that Sun's nm doesn't recognize:

cudcv (95) > nm -an cmap.o
00000000 t __GLOBAL_$I$cmlower
...
000000d8 T __GLOBAL_$I$cmlower
000000d8 ? ___CTOR_LIST__
...

Cheers,

Rob
