Hiya,

I decided to attempt to build egcs-1.1.2 on my NetBSD 1.4 system last 
night, and whilst the compliation seems to have completed successfully 
(I didn't hang around to watch it all!) when I try and compile position 
independant code (-fPIC) cc1 gives a warning about it not being 
supported.

Having looked at the code, I've found the message in 
gcc/config/arm/arm.c:313 - what I'm wondering, not having time this 
morning to see if stuff worked (and now looking at the code and seeing 
it is just outputting the message), is whether the warning is making 
any difference on NetBSD/arm32, or if its aimed at RiscOS? 

I've looked over ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/arm32 and can't see any 
obvious patches I shoud apply...

Cheers,

Simon.,
