I'm trying to install gpc 2.0 (20001113) on my Sparc 2 running SunOS 4.1.4 and gcc 2.95.2.

Gcc installed with no trouble at all, but during the configure process, I run into a problem. Here's the command I used: zappa:~/source/p% /usr3/source/gcc-2.95.2/configure --enable-languages=pascal

I get to the "Configuring gcc..." section, and the process dies with the following message:

checking assembler alignment features... checking assembler subsection support... checking assembler instructions... /usr3/source/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/configure: test: argument expected Configure in /usr3/source/p/gcc failed, exiting.

Has anyone seen this particular problem? The GCC is the version from the gpc site, and it configured, compiled and installed with no problem at all.

Oh dear, this might be the following code which relies on a bash feature not present in Solaris' shell. (I thought we had fixed all such occurences, but this one might have been re-introduced recently.) Please try the following change (will also be in the CVS soon).
