Hello again on the gpc mailing list.

This is to inform you of 2 things.

1 ============

During the "make" of gpc the assembler often gives the following message:

cc1: warning: -g is only supported when using GAS on this processor, cc1: warning: -g option disabled.

In the HPUX this is the case with: GNU assembler version 2.9 (hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20), using BFD version 2.9

That is no problem, but somehow the string

gpc1: warning: -g is only supported when using GAS on this processor, gpc1: warning: -g option disabled.

gets into the file

gpc-build/gcc/p/rts/needed-options

and make's the build to stop with an error. Using an empty file "needed-options" as a hack yields a complete and working gpc!!

Yes, since the contents of needed-options are produced by GPC (and for technical reasons via stderr), this warning message gets there as well. The real solution is to avoid the warning in the first place, by simply not giving `-g' or (if it's used by default), adding `-g0'.

2 =============

The known bug: # HP/UX: `unrecognizable insn' error in connection with conformant or const string parameters) 199809280741.JAA17719@rug105.cs.rug.nl (sietse1.pas), Pine.SOL.4.10.9908051751550.23095-100000@niflheim.rutgers.edu, 396C3531.3A327722@cs.rug.nl

Seems to RESOLVED in the snapshot that I compiled! (gpc version 20020402, based on 2.95.2 19991024 (release))

Nice to hear so. Well, I did some changes in this area -- nothing particularly directed towards this bug (since I couldn't reproduce it), but at least I can imagine that the fixing of this bug was related to my changes.
