I have taught GCC and GAS to produce .o files which are usable
under SCO Xenix 386.
Relevant information:
* Currently, the patches are relative to GCC 1.37 and GAS 1.34.
* requires Microsoft C 5.1 for 386 (SCO lng 085 or better) for stage 1
build.
* Produces Microsoft C compatible OMF object files.
* Links with the standard Xenix 386 libraries (at least it does with
my 2.3 dev. sys. libraries) using the standard ld(C) to produce
x.out files executable by SCO Xenix 386.
* GCC compiles itself (with -O) comparing .o files with no differences
between stage 3 and stage 4. (Yes, you can just do cmp file1.o file2.o)
* compiles perl release 3.0 patchlevel 15 and runs all the tests
successfully, but not with -O (That makes it core dump :-( )
(Had to use -fpcc-struct-return to make it pass op.dbm test)
My system:
SCO Xenix 2.3.2 with 2.3 dev sys and lng 085.
I've compiled it with only 2 Mb of core in the box, but that makes
it swap just a bit. It's fine now (there's 8 Mb in it today :-).
Patch availability:
If there's enough interest, I'll post the patches to alt.sources
next week or so. No, I'm not mailing them overseas, Eunet costs
are low, but not _that_ low.
I will mail them to archive sites, if asked.
