Dear Port Alpha:

Has anyone succeeded in installing gcc-2.95.2 under 1.4.1?  I wonder if
it's been written to compile correctly under NetBSD?

My reason for trying to to replace egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1
release) which comes with 1.4.1 is that I want to install teTeX-1.0.6, and
there's a note in the teTeX release which says egcs-1.29.60 won't compile
one of its files.

(Excuse a couple of basic questions, but GCC and EGCS are one and the same
aren't they?  What does EGCS stand for?)

As per the GCC installation instructions, I downloaded these files into the
same directory and unzipped them:

gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz
gcc-chill-2.95.2.tar.gz
gcc-core-2.95.2.tar.gz
gcc-g++-2.95.2.tar.gz
gcc-g77-2.95.2.tar.gz
gcc-java-2.95.2.tar.gz
gcc-objc-2.95.2.tar.gz

then created a separate directory for the object code and ran configure
from there.  The problem I experienced was with the next step which is to
execute 'make bootstrap'  I used GNU make version 3.78.1.  Many warnings
were generated such as:

warning: type mismatch in implicit declaration for built-in function `strcpy'
warning: mktemp() possibly used unsafely, use mkstemp() or mkdtemp()
warning: assignment discards `const' from pointer target type
mv: rename s-crt to stage1/s-crt: No such file or directory
mv: rename s-crtS to stage1/s-crtS: No such file or directory

and finally make halted with this statement:
