I copied the /i386/compiler-info-linux-gnu.h file and saved it as /home/darren/swarm-2.0/libobjc/config/powerpc/compiler-info-generic.h


Then, I went to the Makefile in libobjc, searched for the mframe.m in MSRC and commented it out.

I configured, and typed make.  It ran for a while and I got the following:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/home/darren/swarm-2.0/libobjc -I. -I./objc -I/home/darren/swarm-2.0/libobjc/objc -I/home/darren/swarm-2.0/libobjc -DBUILDING_LIBOBJC -g -O2 -c  -fPIC -DPIC sendmsg.c -o .libs/sendmsg.lo
sendmsg.c:34: #error cc1obj -print-runtime-info must report MFRAME_STACK_STRUCT
make[4]: *** [sendmsg.lo] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/darren/swarm-2.0/libobjc'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/darren/swarm-2.0/libobjc'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/darren/swarm-2.0'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
[darren@(none) swarm-2.0]$ 


I went back and commented out all of the mentions of mframe, but this didn't change anything.

Since I am not planning on using Java, I am not concerned about removing this capability.  But, where do I go now?
