VMS decc$types.h: typedef unsigned int __size_t;
but with GCC 4.5.0 this preprocesses as: typedef unsigned int ; and there are ensuing errors e.g. when compiling gcc/libiberty/regex.c probably because of: /usr/local/lib/gcc/alpha-dec-vms/4_5_0/include/stddef.h (it does get included) #if defined (__FreeBSD__) && (__FreeBSD__>= 5) /* __size_t is a typedef on FreeBSD 5!, must not trash it. */ #else #define __size_t #endif presumably should be more like: #if (defined (__FreeBSD__) && (__FreeBSD__>= 5)) || defined(__vms) /* __size_t is a typedef on FreeBSD 5 and VMS, must not trash it! */ #else #define __size_t #endif That gets further, then hits src/gcc-4.5.0/libiberty/regex.c: In function 'byte_insert_op2': /src/gcc-4.5.0/libiberty/regex.c:4279:1: error: unrecognizable insn: (insn 62 61 63 5 /src/gcc-4.5.0/libiberty/regex.c:4276 (set (reg:DI 135) (plus:SI (subreg/s:SI (reg/v/f:DI 109 [ pfrom ]) 0) (const_int 5 [0x5]))) -1 (nil)) /src/gcc-4.5.0/libiberty/regex.c:4279:1: internal compiler error: in extract_insn, at recog.c:2103 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.
