We tried compiling gpc earlier this year but have been too busy for a while. This was the outcome:

Problems compiling gpc 20010121 under Unixware 7.1.1 using gcc 2.92.2 and Skunkware 7.1.1B

1. rts wont compile

/usr/local/src/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts/string.pas: In function `Memcompcase': /usr/local/src/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts/string.pas:226: Internal compiler error in `add_bound_info', at gcc2.95.2//gcc/dwarf2out.c:7376

solved by compiling with -g0. We can live without debugging.

2. Tried a simple program:

Program Test;

begin WriteLn('Hello'); end.

gpc test.pas gave:

UX:as: WARNING: /var/tmp/cc00027c.s:76:name already bound as global: init_pascal_main_program UX:as: WARNING: /var/tmp/cc00027c.s:77:name already bound as global: pascal_main_program Undefined first referenced symbol in file sys_siglist /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-UnixWare7.1.1-sysv5/2.95.2/libgpc.a(rts.o) UX:ld: ERROR: a.out: fatal error: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out

test.s shows init_pascal_main_program etc all repeated.
