Can't compile GNU software...Compiler problem???

Sat Mar 3 08:19:22 AEST 1990

I have been having problems compiling a couple of GNU products...and I don't
know if there is a way around them...

I am running on a VAX with ATT V.2 UNIX, and have a pretty old cc compiler.
When I try to compile...

1)  Gcc-1.37.1:  I get the following error in c-decl.c
          ...line 2264, compiler error:  cannot reclaim...

    Line 2264 contains    ...  TREE_CODE (id) != ERROR_MARK ...

    The compiler seems to have problem with TREE_CODE in an if..then
    comparison.  Changing the if..then to switch statements appears
    to get rid of the error, but there are quite a few of these 
    throughout the codes...

2)  Gnuchess-2.0:  I run out of temporary memory...I didn't have this
    problem with version 1.55...

 Are these due to the limitation of the compiler or the system???
 Any hope of compiling these???
