  19.    My recommendation to all people out there attempting this is DON'T USE GCC
  20.    vers 2.2.2 TO BUILD X!!!  It does not appear to have what it takes.
  21.  
  22. I built it with gcc2, and it works wonderfully.  X11R5 patched to 16
  23. (I think it was), and the patches in README.X11 applied from the gcc
  24. 2.2.2 distribution.  No other changes.  I suggest you start from
  25. scratch, since you obviously configured something wrong.
  26.  
  27. I strongly recommend you *do* use it; the performance improvements are
  28. noticeable, in addition to the size reduction (as compared to gcc1).
