Here's what the gcc manual has to say (under Installation /
Configurations). gas is the Gnu Assembler. I don't have a lot of
experience with it, but from what they're saying here it's a good idea
to use it. The doc goes on to talk about how to install gas: you'll
have to rebuild gcc as well.
`-g' does not work on HP-UX, since that system uses a peculiar
debugging format which GNU CC does not know about. However, `-g'
will work if you also use GAS and GDB in conjunction with GCC. We
highly recommend using GAS for all HP-PA configurations.
I'm sorry I don't know more about hpux.
