For various reasons my system is running OpenVMS 5.5-2 and can not be upgraded to a later version. I do have the DEC C Runtime and POSIX 2.0 installed. I have the sources for GCC 2.8.0 from the DECUS archives, but they will not clean compile. In my quest so far, I have had to fix three bugs in GAS 980303 from BINUTILS 2.8.1.0.23. 1. No valid build or make file for OpenVMS/VAX. 2. Not generating correct output file format 3. Occasionly does not assemble .word directives correctly. (the fixes for these were sent to bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org) Unfortunately, the prebuilt GCC preprocessor 2.5.4 that I have was built with a version of GAS with bug number 3 and occasionally crashes with an OPCODE reserved to Digital. I also have a prebuilt GCC preprocessor 1.4.2 that does not appear to have that problem. I am working on eliminating the diagnostic messages, of which 80% appear to be implicitly defined functions. The ones that are bothering me the most though are the "unhandled case XXXXXX in switch statement. When I search the .C and .H files to find the offending symbol XXXXXX I am getting no matches found. Any help would be appreciated, Thank you, John Malmberg E-mail: lnussat.jmalmber@gmeds.com Ax.25: WB8TYW@K4HRY.#midtn.tn.usa.na
