There are two variants of this CPU, called 1.0 and 1.1, which have different machine descriptions. You must use the right one for your machine. All 7nn machines and 8n7 machines use 1.1, while all other 8nn machines use 1.0.
The easiest way to handle this problem is to use `configure hpnnn' or `configure hpnnn-hpux', where nnn is the model number of the machine. Then `configure' will figure out if the machine is a 1.0 or 1.1. Use `uname -a' to find out the model number of your machine.
`-g' does not work on HP-UX, since that system uses a peculiar
debugging format which GNU CC does not know about. There are preliminary
versions of GAS and GDB for the HP-PA which do work with GNU CC for
debugging. You can get them by anonymous ftp from jaguar.cs.utah.edu
`dist' subdirectory. You would need to install GAS in the file
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/configuration/gccversion/as
where configuration is the configuration name (perhaps `hpnnn-hpux') and gccversion is the GNU CC version number. Do this before starting the build process, otherwise you will get errors from the HPUX assembler while building `libgcc2.a'. The command
make install-dir
will create the necessary directory hierarchy so you can install GAS before building GCC.
If you obtained GAS before October 6, 1992 it is highly recommended you get a new one to avoid several bugs which have been discovered recently.
To enable debugging, configure GNU CC with the `--gas' option before building.
It has been reported that GNU CC produces invalid assembly code for 1.1 machines running HP-UX 8.02 when using the HP assembler. Typically the errors look like this:
as: bug.s @line#15 [err#1060]
Argument 0 or 2 in FARG upper
- lookahead = ARGW1=FR,RTNVAL=GR
as: foo.s @line#28 [err#1060]
Argument 0 or 2 in FARG upper
- lookahead = ARGW1=FR
You can check the version of HP-UX you are running by executing the command `uname -r'. If you are indeed running HP-UX 8.02 on a PA and using the HP assembler then configure GCC with "hpnnn-hpux8.02".
