SubjectRe: Compile Failure 2.1.98/Alpha
Hi again.

Alan: Can you check into this please, and pass my comments on to the
relevant maintainer...

>>> when trying to compile 2.1.98 on a DEC Alpha (noname)
>>> i get the folowing error:

>>> root@alpha:/usr/src/linux# make config
>>> arch/alpha/Makefile:35: *** missing separator. Stop.
>>> root@alpha:/usr/src/linux#

>>> if I look at line 35 in arch/alpha/Makefile i see this:

>>> $(shell $(AS) --version >& ./GAS_VER)

>>> If I change it to

>>> $(shell $(AS) --version &> ./GAS_VER)

>>> then it works (for now...)

I have a feeling you've also changed the meaning of the command, and
thus could easily have introduced a bug in the process...

>>> anybody got any comments on thisone??

It should be independant of shell used, but clearly isn't. I have a
feeling the original syntax is that of tcsh rather than bash - I think
the bash equivalent of tcsh's >& is >> if that helps...

Perhaps whoever is maintaining the Alpha version could look into this
issue and advise - I use the i386 version here, so have no real
experience of it...

Best wishes from Riley.
