The following is the newly added README.gcc.aux from apple.com.

	Unfortunately, the A/UX native compiler suite has fixed size
tables, some of which are too small to allow it to compile gcc.  To
get around this problem, a binary distribution of gcc-1.35 is provided
for A/UX.  This is a complete, ready to install build of gcc-1.35 for
A/UX.  It was compiled with gcc-1.35 (ie., it's a stage3 build) with
optimization turned on and AUX_ASM defined.  In order to rebuild gcc-1.35
from the sources you need to:

	1.  Get the binary distribution of gcc-1.35.  It can be found
in gcc-1.35.aux.bin.Z on the same machine you found the sources.

	2.  Place "gcc" off the binary distribution in /usr/local/bin
or other directory on your execution path.

	3.  Place all the other files and directories in the binary
distribution in /usr/local/lib.

	4.  Set up the configuration files to build an a/ux version.
		sh config.gcc aux

	5.  Build and install gcc.
		make CC=gcc install
Opinions:  MINE, ALL MINE! (greedy evil chuckle)
