I've read it here on the net from people that have compiled gcc that you have to use the gnu cpp, a uuencode executable was posted a long time ago, and it came through again when gcc 1.26 executables were posted. |The GNU docs clearly state to *NOT* use gcc itself to build the gnulib and the |first stage of compiling gcc, thus precluding use of, say, gcc-1.26 or the |recently posted gcc-1.30. Don't use gcc but use the gnu-cpp. |Thad Floryan [ thad@cup.portal.com (OR) ..!sun!portal!cup.portal.com!thad ] -- Charles Anderson | People of the Earth can you hear me? caa@midgard.mn.org | Came a voice from the sky on that magical night ...!amdahl!bungia!midgard!caa | And in the colours of a thousand sunsets | They traveled to the world on a silvery light | -Billy Thorpe, Children Of The Sun
