+
+<p><b>alpha*-*-*</b><br>
+No specific installation needs/instructions.
+
+
+<p><b>i?86-*-linux*</b><br>
+You will need binutils-2.8.1.0.15 or newer for exception handling to work.
+
+<p><b>i?86-*-sco3.2v5*</b><br>
+The SCO assembler is currently required.    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.  The way to get around this is
+to use the following sequence.  Note you must have write permission to
+<i>prefix</i> for this sequence to work.
+
+<p>cd <i>objdir</i><br>
+make all-texinfo all-bison all-byacc all-binutils all-gas all-ld<br>
+cd gcc<br>
+make bootstrap<br>
+make install-headers-tar<br>
+cd ..<br>
+make bootstrap3<br>
+
+<p><b>m68k-sun-sunos4.1.1</b><br>
+It is reported that you may need the GNU assembler on this platform.
+
+<p><b>mips*-sgi-irix4</b><br>
+<b>mips*-sgi-irix5</b><br>
+You must use GAS on these platforms, the native assembler can not handle the
+code for exception handling support on this platform.
+
+<p>These systems don't have ranlib, which various components in egcs need; you
+should be able to avoid this problem by installing GNU binutils, which includes
+a functional ranlib for this system.
+
+<p>You may get the following warning on irix4 platforms, it can be safely
+ignored.
+<pre>
+    warning: foo.o does not have gp tables for all its sections.
+</pre>
+
+<p><b>mips*-sgi-irix6</b><br>
+You must not use GAS on irix6 platforms; doing so will only cause problems.
+
+<p>These systems don't have ranlib, which various components in egcs need; you
+should be able to avoid this problem by making a dummy script called ranlib
+which just exits with zero status and placing it in your path.
+
+<p><b>rs6000-ibm-aix*</b><br>
+<b>powerpc-ibm-aix*</b><br>
+At least one person as reported problems with older versions of gnu-make on
+this platform.  make-3.76 is reported to work correctly.
+
+<p><b>powerpc-*-linux-gnu*</b><br>
+You will need
+<a href="ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/private/hjl">binutils-2.8.1.0.17</a> for
+a working egcs. It is strongly recommended to recompile binutils with egcs
+if you initially built it with gcc-2.7.2.*.
