Hi,

This letter describes my experiences with GNU CC ("gcc")
on a stock ATT System V/386 machine (Toshiba 5100).

The system compiler is a pcc-derivative. Compilation
succeeded with the first Make (as described in INSTALL).

However, upon doing:

	make CC=stage1/gcc CFLAGS="-g -O -Bstage1/" c-parse.tab.c

... the make failed. The symptom of the failure is a lot
of disk accesses, maybe a lot of compiler temporary-file
work, and just an infinite suspension of belief.

This also happens when including "-msoft-float" in the
command line above. The same symtpoms occur (as described
in the previous paragraph). To the best of my knowledge, this
system does not have a floating point chip assist.

	Stuart
