I tried to compile GCC 4.3.0 on a Red Hat Linux 9.0 box, it stopped at
stage 1:
Compiling new gcc versions on old linux versions may not always work,
and is unlikely to be fixed. You are probably on your own here if you
run into a non-trivial problem.
However, I think we should accept patches for such problems, if they're
otherwise good. (I'm not suggesting that you, Jim, are saying
otherwise; I'm just expandng.)
In this case, for example, the fix might be to add something like:
#ifndef SSIZE_MAX
#define SSIZE_MAX LONG_MAX
#endif
to host-linux.c. Or some autoconf check that determines whether
SSIZE_MAX is available and defines it if it is not, based on the size of
size_t. Or something. (I don't know Linux well enough to how
consistent these things are across targets.)
