Has anyone managed to get a version of gcc to compile on Apollos (specifically
dn3000's and dn4000's @ sr10.1 in my case) with the COFF patches to gcc and
gas (etc) on tut.cis.ohio-state.edu in order to produce dbx output? I get as
far as compiling gnulib2 (with the patched assembler) when it produces errors
such as:

_adddi3
/usr/tmp/cca07838.s:7:"instruction/operands mismatch" 
    -- Statement 'link a6,#-48' ignored

-With my previous version of gas (using John Vasta's patches) I get a gnulib
archive with ./gcc producing 'sun old impure executables (68020)' mixed with
the COFF apollo-cc ones :^(

I suspect that it's something in config/tm-apollo68.h that is fouling things
up but I've been staring at this for so long now I need a prod in the right
direction...
