I guess you've noticed that the binutils stuff will default to : COFF format if it doesn't recognise the operating system name. : Jordan has a NetBSD/Alpha system available for anybody (?) who : wants to work on this stuff. The patch is to gcc. I've included it here since it is really small. Your checkins did most of the magic. I just got configure working. I also had to chmod +x configure and move-if-changed as well, but that is a minor issue. There may also be a minor issue with libgcc1.a, but I don't think FreeBSD/alpha needs it.... I also grabbed NetBSD's toolchain tree today. I think I'll try to use that to build a cross assembler for the alpha, maybe hacking it for use with FreeBSD rather than NetBSD. This stuff is cool :-) Warner Index: configure =================================================================== RCS file: /home/imp/FreeBSD/CVS/src/contrib/gcc/configure,v retrieving revision 1.2 diff -u -r1.2 configure --- configure 1996/09/18 06:50:23 1.2 +++ configure 1998/01/12 20:59:01 @@ -931,6 +931,17 @@ # Next line turned off because both 386BSD and BSD/386 use GNU ld. # use_collect2=yes ;; + alpha-*-freebsd*) + cpu_type=alpha + tm_file=alpha/freebsd-elf.h + xm_file=alpha/xm-freebsd.h + # On FreeBSD, the headers are already ok. + fixincludes=Makefile.in + xmake_file=alpha/x-freebsd + gas=yes + gnu_ld=yes + stabs=yes + ;; i[345]86-*-freebsdelf*) cpu_type=i386 tm_file=i386/freebsd-elf.h
