Compiler for Tru64 + pkgsrc

[Swift Griggs <swiftgriggs%gmail.com@localhost>]

Anyone have a newer GCC compiled for tru64 for use with pkgsrc ?

The newest compiler kit I've found pre-compiled for Tru64 is GCC version 
4.2.3. Unfortunately, it fails some checks (C99 capability is the biggest 
one) in a few autoconf scripts of some pretty popular open source apps.

I'd like to create a package for a newer compiler. However, it's made more 
difficult by a few Tru64 quirks. One is that the varargs.h include file 
has a couple of macros like va_start() that now rarely match the argument 
count in more modern open source programs. For example, it seems that 
folks changed va_start() to have two args instead of one.

I've been able to circumvent that by using the varargs.h that came with 
gcc and feeding gcc a -I/path/to/gcc/includes at the very first. In some 
cases -nostdinc is also needed. However, I have to wonder if this will 
break later on. va_start() isn't a library call, so I'm not sure what the 
fallout would be, if anything. The other thing I have to do almost every 
time to avoid linker errors is to pass -Wa,-oldas to gcc. I managed to get 
binutils compiled so I have a newer 'ld' now, but I'm not sure if that'll 
fix the latter issue.

So, I'm asking, does anyone have a newer toolkit put together for Tru64? 
If not do you have any tips on how to get a newer GCC kit compiled? I've 
tried compiling gcc-4.9.3 and it bombs in the autoconf/configure stage 
with the last few lines looking like this below. I wonder if I'm just 
outta luck and they simply don't care about Tru64 at all anymore (which is 
understandable):

Then from config.log:

Any ideas? Thanks,
