     'm working on a DEC 1000A running 4.0D with patchkit 2. I've managed to build gcc with gas, b
     ut gld doesn't work then. when I build without gas the Dec assembler barfs with "line too lon
     g". with gas and Dec's linker I get stuff like:

Hi,

been there. Never want to the there again! When I try to configure binutils
it tells me that gas and gld is not supported on this architecture. I've
wasted a lot of time to try use gas nevertheless :-( My conclusion was
to not use gas at all.

The solution I've finally chosen is in the egcs FAQ. Here the short story:

        o build and install binutils with same --prefix as later used by
          egcs.

          Why: Digital 'ar' had some problems that GNU ar does not have

        o Build egcs with squashing on. See
            http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html#squangle
          how to do this.

        o Because of binary incompatibility of object formats with
          sqangling on one should 'hard code' and -rpath to the linker.
          See last three section of
              http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html#rpath


Another note: AFAIR exceptions are not well supported on Digital Unix
by gcc and egcs. But I can't just find the reference. Nevertheless
the MICO configure script has test for broken exceptions and gcc 2.8.1
and egcs 1.1 failed these configure test (two month ago).

Hope this helps,
Achim
