  Yes.  As I recall, I had to take out the -g option because the large 
amount of debugging information caused the assembler to freak out.  Still,
it is possible to compile gcc with gcc.  Don't waste your time trying it
with the big cc compiler -- even the "big" tables aren't big enough.  
Somebody needs to teach those AT&T guys about this marvelous new 
invention called "malloc". 
  Now for my question: Has anyone successfully gotten GDB to work?  
It looks like a very nice debugger, but it requires a good deal of
customization to each system, and a good deal more understanding of A/UX
internals than I have.  I  did some work on trying to get it to compile,
but gave up on it temporarily to move on to other things.
