The GNU assembler is not up +to the task of switching between ELF and COFF at runtime. + +<br>Unlike various prereleases of GCC, that used '-belf' and defaulted to +COFF, you must now use the '-melf' and '-mcoff' flags to toggle between +the two object file formats. ELF is now the default. + +<br>Look in gcc/config/i386/sco5.h (search for "messy") for additional +OpenServer-specific flags. + + + +<p><b>hppa*-hp-hpux*</b><br> +We <b>highly</b> recommend using gas/binutils-2.8 on all hppa platforms; you +may encounter a variety of problems when using the HP assembler. + +XXX How to make sure gcc finds/uses gas. + +<p><b>hppa*-hp-hpux9</b><br> +The HP assembler has major problems on this platform. We've tried to work +around the worst of the problems. However, those workarounds may be causing +linker crashes in some circumstances; the workarounds also probably prevent +shared libraries from working. Use the GNU assembler to avoid these problems. + +<br>The configuration scripts for egcs will also trigger a bug in the hpux9 +shell. To avoid this problem set CONFIG_SHELL to /bin/ksh and SHELL to +/bin/ksh in your environment. + +<p><b>hppa*-hp-hpux10</b><br> +For hpux10.20, we <b>highly</b> recommend you pick up the latest sed +patch from HP. HP has two sites which provide patches free of charge. + +<br><a href="http://us-support.external.hp.com">US, Canada, Asia-Pacific, and +Latin-America</a> +<br><a href="http://europe-support.external.hp.com">Europe</a> + +<p>Retrieve patch PHCO_12862. + +<p>The HP assembler on these systems is much better than the hpux9 assembler, +but still has some problems. Most notably the assembler inserts timestamps +into each object file it creates, causing the 3-stage comparison test to fail +during a "make bootstrap". You should be able to continue by saying "make all" +after getting the failure from "make bootstrap". + +<p><b>m68k-*-nextstep*</b><br> +You absolutely must use GNU sed and GNU make on this platform. + +<p>If you try to build the integrated C++ & C++ runtime libraries on this system +you will run into trouble with include files.
