Re: Anyone built Emacs with gcc-3.3?

[puneet <puneet@computer.org>]

I am using emacs on solaris 2.8. Right now I am using emacs from
CVS. Earlier on I had emacs 21.3 compiled with 64-bit gcc 3.3. And it
did not give any problems.

I have compiled emacs in gcc 3.3. Actually I configured gcc for
sparcv9 arch. And hence my emacs is 64-bit. I use it daily. I believe
I used gcc 3.3 only to install emacs as my emacs was installed later
than I installed the present gcc.

I will try compiling emacs with 32 bit gcc early next week, as I do
not have access to my solaris system at home.
