This is on NetBSD/pmax, sources SUP'ed as of yesterday, /usr/share/mk
is up-to-date.

I entered USE_EGCS=1 into mk.conf and then compiled and installed
in .../src/gnu/usr.bin/egcs.

Ok, so far.

Then I tried to

     make clean
     make

(still in src/gnu/usr.bin/egcs), and got the following

all ===> common
cc -O -fPIC -DPIC -DABICALLS -Werror  -I/home/src/gnu/usr.bin/egcs/common

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
cc1: warning: -G is incompatible with PIC code which is the default

Stop.

Is this problem in my set-up, or is it present for all pmax
machines (or ELF or whatever...) ?
