I am a devotee of hopeless causes, so I am trying to compile the
MIT distribution of X 11R4 in order to end up with an X server on
an Alliant fx2800. My first attempts have met with failure because
the Alliant C preprocessor, scc0, doesn't paste tokens together in
the fashion expected by the X developers, and I end up with thousands
of compiler errors. The X documentation that comes with the release
says the gcc is the compiler of choice, so my question is...

Does anybody have gcc ported to (and producing code for :-)) the
intel i860 micro? Lacking that, does anybody have a preprocessor that
handles token pasting as required by the X sources? 

Please respond by email, I will post a summary if there is sufficient
(any? :-)) response.

Thanks in advance,
John Reading
