Re: [Gcl-devel] Gcc 3.4 and GCL

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings, Mike, and thanks for looking into this!  And please accept
my apologies for being somewhat unresponsive of late -- am in the
middle of a work burst.

1) Haven't checked gmp subuild problems yet with 3.4, but will.

2) Have done preliminary checking to conclude that -fwritable-strings
   is no longer required.  Will remove.

3) There is a problem with the alloca declaration in compbas2.h, which
   needs to be commented out.  gcc-3.4 things a builtin is really an
   external, which doesn't exist. Will commit.

4) Everything else works fine for me.  I get no syntax errors, and
   need no include reordering.  Can you try to give me a minimum test
   case, with preprocessed (i.e. through cpp) output?

Take care,
