Help!!  I am attempting to install GNU g++ on a Sequent Symmetry S-27.
Has anybody out there done this successfully.  I had to given up on
version 1.31, (possibly because of my own mistakes... hmm, is that
possible?) and gotet a hold of version 1.34.  long way into the
compilation, make aborted because it was unable to locate "caller-save.c".
The documentation mentioned, running make maketest on a destination
directory.  Well, make didn't want to work when I was located in another
directory.  The docs. also mentioned using config.g++ with my machine name
as an argument.  surprizingly, g++ was not included in the distribution, so I 
used config.gcc with some degree of success.  What am I missing?  Am I going of
on a tangent?
Any help or suggestions from you people experienced in doing things like
this will be greatly appreciated and sorely needed.

Many thanks.
