GCC 2.7.x and GPC 2.6.3

[Peter Gerwinski]

Hello, everybody!

Somehow good news: GCC 2.7.x and GPC 2.6.3 *can* peacefully coexist
on the same system.  You just have to make the linuxaout-libraries
visible for GPC (for example with the SlackWare 3.0 directory tree, 
use "gpc -L /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib myfile.pas") and to replace
temporarily the new library libgcc.a by the old one.  Only this one 
-- not the elf versions, and not libc.a, etc..  The linker will
complain about some entry point, but the executable will work.
I suggest to use an alias or a shell script for all that.

Yours,

    Peter
