*************** Host/target specific installation notes
*** 432,466 ****
hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20
! Due to a problem with libiberty/regex.c, GDB does not build on HP/UX
! 10.20 when using the HP supplied compiler.
! Due to bit rot problems, GDB 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 does not
! configure on HP/UX 11.00.
alpha-dec-osf5.1
! GDB has a number of problems on this platform (Ref PR gdb/237). A GDB
! built with ``CC="cc -DUSE_LDR_ROUTINES"'' is reported to be more
! reliable.
sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8
! There are known problems with 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's thread support on this platform.

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.

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.
