I've been using an ancient 1999 version of GPC since, well, 1999, because it worked fine, came as an RPM, and did what I wanted. However, I've now got a laptop that is running the 64 bit version of Mandriva Linux. Compiled 32-bit code seems to run OK, but the packaged versions of the compiler fail at the assembly stage. I.e. I can use my old versions of GPC to produce assembler, but the assembler gives error messages even on a "hello world" program. Is there any simple work-around, or a binary distribution that should work on my system? Or do I have no option other than compiling from scratch?
