Subject: EGCS 1.1 UPDATE rev. 2

As before, please do not submit PR's on egcs just yet, as it's known not to
work in several places. But a post to tech-toolchain@netbsd.org would be
nice.
This status report reflects the state as it sits in NetBSD-current as of
this message, so it may be until the next supscan for all sources to be
available via sup.
===== MAIN GCC ARCHITECTURE COMPONENTS =====
- alpha: Working.
- arm32: Problem with -msoft-float not turned on by default, which I'm
investigating. Otherwise works for C, not heavily tested for C++. Will
keep updated.
- i386: Set up but not yet tested. A few people are already testing it out.
- m68k: Set up but not yet tested. I need volunteer(s).
- mips[el]: Set up but not yet tested. I need volunteer(s) or may do this
myself.
- mipseb: Not yet set up. Some diffs need to go in for this.
- ns32k: This is unfortunately a big problem. Our gcc 2.7.2 was very hacked
from the mainline gcc sources, and I don't know what changes needed to go
where. Right now, ns32k.{c,h,md} are a big mess.
- powerpc: Set up but not yet tested. I need volunteer(s).
- sparc: Working, but REQUIRES a fix for a null pointer bug in the old gas
assembler in order to compile -fPIC code. The src/gnu/usr.bin/gas tree
in -current has the fix, or a 1.3.x and higher binary is available from
ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/arch/sparc/as.GOTfix - install into "/usr/bin/as".
- vax: Set up but not yet tested. I need volunteer(s).
===== GCC SUBSIDIARY LIBRARIES =====
- libgcc: Working (now in src/gnu/lib/libgcc).
- libf2c (libg2c): Not yet set up.
- libobjc: Not yet set up.
- libstdc++: Not yet set up.
===== OTHER TASKS =====
- Make tree useable for a host other than NetBSD: not yet done.
- Import binutils 2.9.1: not yet done.
- Import gdb 4.17: not yet done.
- Upgrade recursive-directory scripts: not yet done.
