- I recently posted a message about the following error which occured while I
- was trying to build gcc 2.2.2 on a 386BSD 4.4 net2 system.
-
-
- libgcc2.c:41:Junk character 47.
- libgcc2.c:41:Rest of line ignored. 1st junk character valued 65 (A).
- libgcc2.c:43:Junk character 47.
- libgcc2.c:43:Rest of line ignored. 1st junk character valued 78 (N).
- *** Error code 1
-
- Stop.

- I have solved the problem on my own. It is with the version of the gnu
- assembler that I am using. When gcc puts a comment in its assembler code
- output it uses the '/' character to begin the comment, however the new version
- of the gnu assembler that I am using does not recognize the '/' character as
- beginning a comment. It only accepts the '#' character as beginning a comment.
- This may be specific to i386 machines. I don't know.
-
- I am considering changing my copy of gcc 2.2.2 so that it can use either '/'
- or '#' for assembler comments. I would appreciate any input or corrections to
- what I have said.

- Thanks,
