I got GCC-1.33 working on a 386 SCO XENIX 2.3.1.  I'm trying to get it
to work with the XENIX masm assembler.

I found `masm386.c' in the gcc-1.33 directory.  It seems that it needs
to be used somehow (for insn-output.c?).  I don't see how it gets
used.

When I compile a program with GCC (say, hello.c) it comes out in the
form:

		.file	"T.c"
	gcc_compiled.:
	.text
	.LC0:
		.byte 0x48,0x65,0x6c,0x6c,0x6f,0x2c,0x20,0x77,0x6f,0x72
		.byte 0x6c,0x64,0x2c,0xa,0x0
		.align 4
	.globl main
	main:
		pushl %ebp
		movl %esp,%ebp
		pushl $.LC0
		call printf
	.L1:
		leave
		ret

Nice code.  It is a lot better than the XENIX compiler puts out, but
the `%register' stuff is not understood (registers don't need the
`%'), symbols should start with an underscore and other things need to
be taken care of.

I looked in masm386.c and it looks like that is what I need, but how
to use it?  A grep for `masm' in the directory only gives me a comment
in final.c and some stuff in masm386.c.

Please help.

Pax, Keith
