I've been using gcc 1.34 with x11r3 and the Perdoo fixes with good
success.  For a Sun 3/50 running SunOS 3.5.2 the ServerDefines in
Sun.macros is

	#define ServerGCCDefines -finline-functions -fcombine-regs
	#define ServerDefines SunWindowsDefines ServerGCCDefines -DPURDUE -DNO_3_60_CG4

and site.def contains

	#define OptimizedCDebugFlags	-O -traditional -fwritable-strings -fstrength-reduce

For a MicroVax running Ultrix 3.0 ServerDefines in Vax.macros is

	#define ServerDefines	-DPURDUE

and site.def contains

	#define OptimizedCDebugFlags	-O -traditional -fwritable-strings -fstrength-reduce -Dultrix

On the MicroVax, for the qdss display, the files tldma.c and qdcolor.c
must be compiled with -fvolatile because they use pointers to i/o
registers.  There might be similar problems with the qvss but I don't
know.

The notes for gcc 1.34 are wrong; the -fpcc-struct-return flag doesn't
do what it claims; compile oscolor.c with /bin/cc.  I vaguely remember
trying to use the Purdue patches to dbm.h but had problems and resorted
to the path of least resistance (/bin/cc).

For the clients I didn't have any major problems.  The file Login.c in
the xdm directory is missing a semicolon in one of the structs.
Likewise for one of the files in the xperfmon directory.  I didn't
compile everything in the contrib directory so there may be others.
