I have just come accross the first of what I suspect will be several problems. gcc.c includes which is not present on SysV. It also uses several of the macros which are in on BSD machines. I have BSD sources also, so I can get around it, but there doesn't seem to be a clearly "right" place to start putting OS dependant hacks. I would like to hear from others who are trying to port GCC to System V, or to some other OS which is giving them problems. I am not complaining that GCC is not portable, I recognize that RMS has released it in an early stage, and I appreciate all the effort which has gone into it.
