Is anyone tracking the egcs developer releases on LinuxPPC? I'm
trying to build the newest developer release (19990517) and I have
tried to build earlier ones, but they all get a SEGV compiling
SYSCALLS.c with the stage1 compiler. This is on linux 2.1.127 with
the egcs-1.02 prerelease compiler.
Thanks,

You need binutils >=2.9.1.0.23 or current cvs binutils to be able to build
gcc-2.95 on ppc-linux. Probably the easiest way is to build the DRR1/preR5
SRPM binutils-2.9.1.0.990418-1c.src.rpm available on ftp.linuxppc.org on your
system.

I just tried to build egcs 990517 last night on my pre-R5 system
(installed last weekend) and I hit a snag. In gcc/genattrtab.c, it
complains:
In function `max_attr_value':
4733: `INT_MAX' undeclared (first use this function)
I have /usr/include/linux pointing into a 2.2.6 tree. I haven't tried
to track this down in depth, but I'm hoping someone knows offhand what
the problem is. I suspect I have messed up system headers. Any help
would be appreciated. I don't think it's an egcs problem because it
builds fine on HPUX and other platforms.
I upgraded to pre-R5 from a mklinux DR3 distrib with a few more recent
updates. As an aside, I hit a couple of nasty problems. First, the rpm
with all the network tools didn't get updated because the DR3 rpm had a
larger number than the pre-R5 rpm. The second (this cost me a couple of
hours to rescue) is that pre-R5 (or DR3?) had the bright idea of setting
my keyboard to `us'. Problem is, this keymap is for a PC keyboard. All
my keys were mapped all over the place. After I figured out what was
going on, I had to determine where all the characters really were so I
could edit the config file to use `mac-ext-us' instead. BEWARE!
Since there aren't tons of complaints about this, it may be an artifact
of upgrading a DR3 install.

Yes, upgrading over DR3 might be the culprit. Try to rm -rf /usr/include/*
and then reinstall the kernel-headers package and all the packages you find
via
"rpm -qa|grep -e -devel" with --force, naturally with glibc-devel being the
most important one. I remember strange problems due to old cruft left in
/usr/include after upgrading my R4 to glibc-2.0.90 1.5 years ago.
Franz.

I built the snapshot from 1990512 without any problems on LinuxPPC
R4.1. The c compiler appears to work correctly (built a kernel with
it), but the java compiler has problems with classes that use
java.net.*.

this is a bug in binutils, get an early snapshot of binutils and
you should be fine:
