We compile 3.13-beta2 with g++ on Solaris-2.4, HP-UX-9.05 and 
DigitalUnix-3.2 without large problems.  On HP-UX, g++ without 
gas didn't compile epics.  I had to install gas as well.  Thus, 
on Solaris, we use gas from the beginning.  (I didn't try g++ 
without gas on Solaris.) 

Since g++/gcc is dependent on header files of the operating 
system, g++/gcc which was built on a different version of 
operating system is useless.  

Regards, Kazuro.
