Do we need to install it to a different Modules directory? GCC seems

to need it to run at all on RISC OS 4.

 

GCC also crashed on RISC OS 4 on RPCEmu when attempting to compile

the examples.

Thanks for submitting the patch. I just need to find time to rebuild GCC

again on a different machine as the old laptop I was using is a bit flaky.

 

I couldn't compile on RISC OS 5 as it wasn't finding the headers, but that

could be a packaging problem. I'll check again once I do a full rebuild.
