Gcc, X11R4 and old Sun OS

[Rainer Malzbender]

I apologize for possibly asking previously answered questions. I'm trying
to compile X11R4 on a Sun 3 that is still running Sun OS 3.2. There is a
bug in our Sun cc compiler when casting unsigneds to doubles which
prevents the compile from finishing (this must be a known bug, but it
doesn't bother us too often). So I grabbed gcc and tried using that
(version 1.37). Now I'm getting a lot of error messages that say something
like "invalid constraint in an asm" (this is a paraphrase, I deleted the
log file.) from gcc. The only things I changed in the X sun.cf were the os
major and minor numbers and setting HasGcc to YES (and the SaberC thing,
whatever that is).

Is there a problem with using gcc with OS 3.2 ? Do I need to delve more
deeply into setting up either the gcc or X configuration files ? If it
matters, I set up gcc without bison or gas.
