Hi,

Don't know if this is useful in any way, but I thought I should report it. I've
been trying to cross-compile NetBSD-current for hp700 on an Alpha which also
runs NetBSD.

The first thing I ran into, during the make depend, is that stireg.h and
stivar.h weren't there. All right, no problem, I use a serial terminal anyway,
so I disabled the sti device. After that, the make depend completed without
further ado.

Then, the actual compilation failed with the following error:
/usr/src/sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_vnops.c: In function `procfs_readdir':
/usr/src/sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_vnops.c:1282: error: unrecognizable insn:
(insn 881 880 882 108 0x160b1bf48 (set (reg:DI 441)
        (plus:DI (reg:DI 442)
            (const_int -7424 [0xffffffffffffe300]))) -1 (nil)
    (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:DI 442)
        (expr_list:REG_EQUAL (const_int 7166760209311818496 [0x63757270726f6300]
)
            (nil))))
/usr/src/sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_vnops.c:1282: internal compiler error: in extr
act_insn, at recog.c:2175

I could also do without procfs, so I disabled that too, but then this error
came up:

/usr/src/sys/net/if_ethersubr.c: In function `ether_ifattach':
/usr/src/sys/net/if_ethersubr.c:1106: error: unrecognizable insn:
(insn 53 52 54 1 0x16094ff48 (set (reg:DI 117)
        (plus:DI (reg:DI 118)
            (const_int 5760 [0x1680]))) -1 (nil)
    (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:DI 118)
        (expr_list:REG_EQUAL (const_int 10000000 [0x989680])
            (nil))))
/usr/src/sys/net/if_ethersubr.c:1106: internal compiler error: in extract_insn, 
at recog.c:2175

The ethernet card *is* rather indispensable, so here I decided to stop. Anyway,
I don't know if this is even supposed to work (yet), but maybe someone can use
the information.

Yours,
