Compiling GCC under Irix 6.5 - Gpc

24 Jul 2000


      While trying to build the gpc-20000719 / gcc-2.95.2 suite on top of 
Irix 6.5 (), the following command is issued by gmake:
gcc -c  -DIN_GCC -DGPC   -g -O2               \
   -I. -I..                                    \
   -I../../../gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p                 \
   -I../../../gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/..              \
   -I../../../gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/../config       \
   -I../../../gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/../../include   \
   ../../../gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/../stor-layout.c
This command results in a compiling error:
../../../gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/../stor-layout.c:64: initializer element is 
not constant
Indeed, line 64 of stor-layout.c  reads:
int set_words_big_endian = BYTES_BIG_ENDIAN;  /* @@@ Needn't be a constant!  */
Where is the truth ?
I would be grateful to have a hint to possibly fix this problem
