I have been having problems with GCC since version 1.29, on a Sun-2
running Sun OS 4.0.  I'm fairly certain now that the problem is not
actually in GCC, but is in the compiled version of gnulib that is
created with the Sun C compiler.

If you create GCC on a Sun-3 but using tm-sun2.h, you get a working
compiler, and the .o files in the stage2 phase are identical to those
on the Sun-2, but on the Sun-2 you get a broken compiler.  And, if you
move the Sun-2 version of gnulib to the Sun-3 and use it to build the
compiler, it no longer works.

At the moment I don't have time to investigate this further, but I'd
like to warn anyone else using a Sun-2 about this problem, and also am
interested in hearing if others see it on their systems.
