What came compiled with gcc-3.2.2?

Anything supplied by Sun -- including in that companion-cd?

I finally managed, yesterday, to get emacs built, and
I had to add opt/sfw/bin to path, and likewise for
the ldflags for the -L and -R pair.

Here -- I'll include what I just got through saying
to someone else in this thread:


----------------------- start:
Finally, just yesterday, using Uhring's ideas and 
sample .cshrc, I got it built,  Whew!

I used this for LDPATH [sic: LDFLAGS}:

setenv LDFLAGS '-L/usr/openwin/lib -R/usr/openwin/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib 
-R/usr/sfw/lib    -L/opt/sfw/lib -R/opt/sfw/lib'

(One long line; didn't like the \-continuation --
the stuff on the continuation-line never got
into the Makefile, and also got a sed-error
somewhere.  My setup must be different from his;
he didn't need the /opt/-stuff either, but for
me, gcc was there.)
------------------------ end.

Also this:
  set path=(/sbin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/dt/bin /usr/sfw/bin \
      /usr/openwin/bin /usr/ccs/bin     /opt/sfw/bin)
 ie, yours plus the opt, for gcc.

Oh yes it does.  During 9's installation,
I must have answered some question differently from you.

Looks like I really screwed up where I got things placed
during initial install.  Even though I had sun-service on
the phone while I did it!


Turns out that I'm getting some of the same problems
I got with 21.2.1 -- I'll have to play with it
with both of them with -q and --no-site-file.


Well, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HELP!
