Request to Dave Clemans who recently posted modifications to GCC and G++
to enable them to work on Apollo 680x0 systems.

Dear Dave,

Recently you posted your change files for getting GCC and G++ on Apollo
SR10.1 BSD systems.  I'm sure everyone thanks you very much for the
contribution.  I was trying to build the system and ran into some problems
that you point out in the README file.

    Compile gcc/gas using the Apollo C compiler (setting the appropriate
    flags in the makefile; see existing comments in the GCC makefile).  You
    may also have to play around with includes of <sys/file.h>, and some
    strange function pointer references in gcc/stmt.c; but all changes should
    be relatively obvious.  None of the changes (except for the <sys/file.h>
    ones) has to be permanent once you have a gcc/gas binary.

Since we are under the same environment, I thought you could send out a diff
file or at least make explicit what changes are necessary since they don't
seem obvious to me.  stmt.c is too large for anything to be obvious to
someone who is not looking to spend a day or two in the code.

What needs to be done with includes of <sys/file.h>?

Exactly, which pointer references should be changed and how in stmt.c?

	       Thanks very much,

	       Bob
