I just pulled gcc over from atari.archive (in particular gccbin and
g++-gnulib) and got it up and running on my Mega-2 running gulam.  However
I must be doing something wrong.  The trivial K&R program hello.c
(i.e., printf("hello, world\n")) works fine but if I add the line
fprintf(stdout, "hello, world\n")  it aborts when loading with:
  hello.o: Undefined symbol _stdout referenced from text
Something very funny is going on because printf calls
_printf_guts with fputc(c,stdout) being one of its arguments - and this
works fine.  I tried recompiling fprintf and replacing it in gnu.olb .
This leads to another problem because if I do  ar rv gnu.olb fprintf.o
then it creates the new library gnu.ol$ (presumably to mv to gnu.olb
when it is done) and aborts when it closes this file.  I then added
a printf statement in the file fprintf.c, recompiled it, and added it
to gnu.olb using ar rv (so I had to exit gulam to rename gnu.ol$ to gnu.olb).
Then when I tried compiling hello.c I had lots of error messages since
ld didn't know what to do with _printf .  Somehow when I am compiling the
include files are not being handled correctly.  However the #include command
is working because when I comment it out I get a compilation error that
stdout is undefined (so I think my  GNULIB  and  GNUINC  are correct).
Please - what am I doing wrong?      Thanks, Ed Overman
