Hi all,
Some good news from gcc-hppa maintainer.

If anyone has a clue about the malloc issues...it would be
interesting to get fixed.

enjoy!

The keys work.  I did quite a bit of work on the weekend and managed
to gcc-3.1 to boot on the machine.  I posted the testresults here:

<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2002-01/msg00545.html>.  The
g77 and objc results are excellent.  The gcc results are not too bad.
I think many of the failures there are due to the linker not providing
the correct stub for indirect calls involving doubles.  There is clearly
a problem involving unwinding/exception handling affecting the g++
results.  I had to rewrite the frame note code that Alan Modra added
to get a successful build.

I have observed one problem affecting the system that seems to occur
in g++ compilations which typically need a lot of memory allocated:

pure.o

malloc: /build/buildd/bash-2.05a/dispose_cmd.c:224: assertion botched
free: called with unallocated block argument
Stopping myself...make[4]: *** [pure.lo] Aborted

I don't know if this is a problem with bash, malloc or sbrk.  Usually,
the compilation will succeed if I just restart it.
