/usr/src/UPDATING question
While doing a ``make -DWANT_AOUT world'' I'm seeing the following:
=== libgcc_r
c++ -O -pipe -march=pentium
-I/usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc_r/../../../contrib/egcs/gcc/config
-I/usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc_r/../../../contrib/egcs/gcc -I. -fexceptions
-DIN_GCC -D_PTHREADS
-I/usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc_r/../../../contrib/egcs/gcc/cp/inc -nostdinc++ -c
/usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc_r/../../../contrib/egcs/gcc/cp/tinfo2.cc -o tinfo2.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:4188: Error: Unknown pseudo-op: `.section'
*** Error code 1
Stop.
*** Error code 1
Stop.
Questions:
- Is it just my (two) systems? (cvsupped today, regular make world == fine)
- I don't understand the wording of the most recent paragraph:
Note cc -aout has been broken since the conversion to egcs. If
you have rebuilt things like XFree86 a.out libraries, you should
rebuild them again or things (including netscape) will not work.
If it's true that cc -aout is broken (.section in an a.out .o file? Hm.), how
can one rebuild things like XFree86 a.out libraries, when make world fails?
Sorry to bother y'all but apparently I'm klewl3ss today...
Thanks,

I see ``supposedly'' sounds about right :) Don't know about building an aout world. According to my system, no... I wanted to rebuild the aout bits too in an attempt to cure communicator's core creation craze, but alas. Wouldn't it be nice if the friendly folks at Netscape created an ELF version of their browser?

What it means is that cc -aout has been broken since the conversion to egcs, and now it is supposedly working. Known breakage includes: * compiling with -g sometimes fails (sees to be a gas bug). * the bug just found by Joe (compiling libgcc_r produces .gnu_linkonce... sections).
