I have wonderful news to report. I am finally able to build GCC 3.4.6 for MVS using the normal build process.
There is still a lot of extra i370-specific utilities to e.g. generate compile JCL, but these are completely separate scripts so not intrusive at all. Here's all the changes I have made to 3.4.6, including the extra i370 stuff, and including the generated files like insn-*.c. http://rapidshare.com/files/307362433/gccnew-beta72.zip And here's the file of more interest - much smaller: http://rapidshare.com/files/307366004/gcc-change.zip that contains just the changes to common files. There are 78 files in total that have been changed. Almost all of the changes are quite small. I am now in a strong position to do 2 things: 1. Experiment with changes to the build procedure, because I can easily check that the whole thing still works (it takes 2 hours to do an end-to-end test, so I see the results in the morning etc). 2. Replicate the same thing on GCC 4. I'll work on number 1 first, as I haven't put the external name remapping into the suggested place yet. And I haven't incorporated that (external) remap-generation into the build process either. Hopefully by the time I've finished that, someone can suggest precisely what autoconfigure changes would be best for (2), thinking especially of a config-by-prototype option. BFN. Paul.
