I am in the process of bootstrapping my way up to the most current version of NetBSD on a 486DX2. I received some very usable instructiotructions on how to go about upgrading from 0.9 to the next level. Unfortunately, there seems to be a rather serious problem with the compiler. I encountered it when I went from version 0.8 to 0.9, but thought ithought it had gone away since then. The problem is that the compiler seems to produce code that the assembler can't chew on and swallow. It has something to do with double variables, but I don't know exactly what the problem is. The result is that whenever I try to compile the simplest programs, the assembler barfs. I've tried assembling the program modules with the c compiler and then editing the assembly version of the module before linking and loading it, but this causes the program to behave very strangely as one might expect. I've included the error message from the assembler below and would be happy to send a sample of the bad file if anyone is interested. Please send me e-mail if you have any suggestions as to the cure of this ailment. I feel a little reluctant to continue if my compiler is suspect. Thanks for any help in advance. :) -Brian My e-mail address is: buhrow@cats.ucsc.edu ===> ftp cc -O -c cmds.c cc -O -c cmdtab.c cc -O -c ftp.c as: /var/tmp/cc013051.s:3012: Rest of line ignored.
