!
! Contrary to the GDB 5.1.1 announcement, the update did not contain
! fixes to a i386 floating point problem. The latest sources do contain
! the fix and it will be included in GDB 5.2.

! Known problems in GDB 5.1
hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20
! Due to a problem (conflicting types) with libiberty/regex.c, GDB 5.1
! does not build on HP/UX 10.20 when using the HP supplied compiler.
!
! Due to bit rot, GDB 5.1 does not work on HP/UX 10.20 when built with
! GCC.
!
!
! hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00
!
! Due to a problem with ltconfig and long argument lines, GDB 5.1 does
! not configure on HP/UX 11.00.
!
!
! alpha-dec-osf5.1
!
! GDB 5.1 has a number of problems on this platform (Ref PR gdb/237). A
! GDB 5.1 built with ``CC="cc -DUSE_LDR_ROUTINES"'' is reported to work
! much better.
!
!
! alpha-dec-osf4.0e
!
! GDB 5.1 is known to have problems on this platform (encounters an
! internal error in the symbol table reader).
!
!
! sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8
!
! There are known problems with building GDB 5.1 using GCC 3.0.x for the
! 64 bit SPARC target (bad code gen). You could try a development
! version of GCC.
!
!
! i586-sco-sysv5uw7.1.1
! There are known problems with GDB 5.1's thread support on this
! platform. Non-threaded programs should work.
- *-*-*
- GDB 5.1 assumes that the host C compiler implemends alloca(). GCC is
- one such compiler. This problem should be fixed on the trunk.

+ --------------------
! gdb/487: The top level make files used to build GDB are not compatible
! with HP/UX make. As a workaround, use GNU make.
! gdb/486: The HP/UX C compiler defaults to K&R mode but GDB only builds
! with an ISO C compiler. The top level configuration incorrectly sets
! CC to `cc' instead of `cc -Ae'. As a workaround, the correct compiler
! can be specified as part of the configuration vis:
+ $ 'CC=cc -Ae' ./configure
