Compiling emacs-20.7 with gcc 2.7.2.1 on m64k-next-nextstep4

[Pascal Bourguignon]

Hello,

I had  some problems with the  OPENSTEP 4.2 compiler  (g)cc 2.7.2.1 to
compile emacs-20.7:

cc: Internal compiler error: program cc1obj got fatal signal 11
gnumake: *** [syntax.o] Error 1


The fact is that your intensive use of macro is quite indigestible and
unjustified. I'm not suprised some compilers bark at them.

I  could make  syntax.c swallowable  to gcc  2.7.2.1 by  replacing the
macros INC_BOTH  and UPDATE_SYNTAX_TABLE_FORWARD in  scan_lists(), and
INC_FROM in scan_sexps_forward by functions encapsulating them.



By  the way,  if you  knew  of a  more recent  gcc version  supporting
m64k-next-nextstep4, I'd be  happy to rather use it  to compile modern
GNU software on this platform.
