-
-<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.
-
-<br>Systems based on OpenServer before 5.0.4 (<code>uname -X</code> will
-tell you what you're running) require TLS597 from ftp.sco.com/TLS for
-C++ constructors and destructors to work right.
-
-<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.*.
