I am currently trying to install g++ in a sun3/280 with SunOS 4.0.1.  After
having much trouble installing the g++ compiler, I got the makefile execution
to finish.  When trying to make the libg++.a, the first invokation of g++
on the file builtin.cc bombed with the assembler giving the error "Invalid
operation" twice.  This may not be a problem with libg++, but rather some
problem with the way that I made the g++ compiler.

I am using the following GNU versions:
	gcc = 1.34
	g++ = 1.34.2
	libg++ = 1.34.0

Initially I installed gcc-1.35, but then I was told that I must use 1.34 to
be compatible with the 1.34.2 release of g++.  I did not reinstall gcc when
I obtained the 1.34 version.  I am using the 1.35 compiler to compile, but
my file links are set up to that I am linked to the 1.34 source code.  Do you
know if this is o.k.?  Should I have run any set-up files from the 1.34
distribution first.  I followed the g++ installation instructions but the
file cplus-lex.c bombed with an undeclared type (yyltype).  I found a
definition for this type in another file, added it to cplus-lex.c and the
compilation of g++ succeeded.

If you have any ideas, any help would be appreciated.  Since my problem may
be in the g++ compiler rather than the library, if you can give me the
name and address of someone to talk to about the compiler, I would also be
grateful.
