-
- The problem is not a floating constant out of range. The problem
- is a floating point stack overflow. To get passed this, manually
- compile fold-const.c using -S in place of -c. Edit fold-const.s
- and replace "fsts" with "fstps" in _real_value_truncate. Then
- assemble (as -o fold-const.o fold-const.s).
-
- There is also a circular dependancy for protoize.o/unprotoize.o in the
- Makefile. Add the lines
-
- touch protoize.o
- touch unprotoize.o
-
- after the line
-
- touch stamp-proto
-
- After this "make bootstrap" will run to completion.

-
- enquire won't generate a .h file if you can't compile it
