Hello again,
I hate to post 2 messages on the same subject, but I thought this might be
helpful,
here is a new message:

assembler message:
 Error : register does not match opcode suffix.

I have tried the following to alleviate the problem.

1. read FAQ on goof.com - no information on this particular problem was
available

2. re-download the latest pgcc files from ftp.goof.com, and re-install

3. I have tried the following versions of as.exe:

    as.exe dated 2/5/96
    as.exe dated 5/20/97
    as.exe dated 12/31/97

   and for good measure ld.exe dated 12/31/97

if I switch between these during the recompile of libm, I can get through the
compile, but the resulting lib is only about 800 bytes long, that isn't right.

please note that I can compile libc ok (and other stuff too, like povray with
no problems), so whats up with libm? (I also re-installed all source code for
libm too).
                   Thanks!
                   Jonathan Bailey
