The GCC compiler is built in stages. The first stage uses [Dec's] CC
compiler and which needs the cflag "-arch ev56" for the Dec compiler to
operate without creating an internal compiler error. This cflag is not
valid with gcc which is used in successive stages. Because of this, gcc
needs to be built in stages instead of building all stages at once. I
found this solution using [duh] the man page for Dec cc.
As an fyi, I did swap out the motherboard, cpu, and all memory and which
did not resolve the problem.
If anyone has the old directions for building stage1 separately from the
rest of the stages, I would appreciate it. This may resolve my problem of
building gcc on a PC164LX running 5.0.

also, thanks to those for reminding me to not include junk that's not
needed. :)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Problem<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I am trying to compile GCC-2.95.2 on a PC164LX, firmware 5.5, Tru64 5.0 and
am receiving the gcc error listed immediately below.
To note: I experienced the same problem on another unit and swapped the
drives to the current unit when I thought the CPU was bad {that unit
actually hung/crashed}.
I have had no problem with this same compilation on an 800 running 4.0D.
If someone could shed some light on the problem and what I need to do to
continue on, I would appreciate it. I have some applications that won't
compile without gcc and gcc make.
