I compiled gcc 2.7.2.2 on a sparc and gcc 2.7.2.1 / libg++ 2.7.2 on a
hp300, both running NetBSD 1.1 without any difficulties, they both produce
working binaries although I didn't try to make a kernel with them...
The only problem occurs when I compile a library with the -fPIC flag set,
then the assembler complains that it didn't understand the "-K" flag ( a
look into the as manpage reveals, that this means "produce position
independent code" but the assembler seems to do that nonetheless...
the new compiler doesn't understand the headers for the old (2.4.5) libg++
anymore, but works fine with libg++ 2.7.2.
