first of all: Is there an uptodate archive of the mailing list ?

Currently there isn't. To all: Should there be one?

I try to compile a gcc-2.95.1 patched/extended by the gpc-19990813 sources/patch. (Same results with plain gcc-2.95.)

This cannot work. Support for gcc-2.95.x in gpc-19990813 is work in progress and not yet stable. However, gpc-19990813 does work with gcc-2.8.x or egcs-1.1.x.

I was able to compile gpc 19990813 with gcc 2.95.1 ... It does not work "out of box" though. There are was some manual patching.

After applying the gcc-2.95 patch and moving the p directory, I do a configure and the make bootstrap. I always get the following error about object files that cannot be build (right after libiberty.a is build):

Is this a known problem ? Any ideas or help ?

There was some problem with version detection in GPC Makefile's. I'm not remember what was wrong but my patches are included in KSI-Linux gcc RPM's (you can download src.rpm from ftp://ftp.ksi-linux.com/pub/Devel/Manticore but unfortunatelly I do not have them handy)...

PS: I am currently using the available binaries for gpc build against gcc-2.8.1 for evaluation. This is not a solution, though, since I want to use it in a mixed C++/FORTRAN/PASCAL project where I need the newer gcc-2.95.
