After unsuccessfully getting GRUB to build from the port, I upgraded gcc to 295 in the ports and added this line into make.conf CC= gcc295 When I try to rebuild I get this error which is the same as the original configure:1816: checking whether addr32 must be in the same line as the instruct ion configure:1825: gcc295 -O -pipe -c conftest.s conftest.s: Assembler messages: conftest.s:2: Error: no such 386 instruction: `addr32' configure:1853: checking for .code16 addr32 assembler support configure:1868: gcc295 -O -pipe -c conftest.s conftest.s: Assembler messages: conftest.s:2: Error: no such 386 instruction: `addr32' I then went and tried `make CC=gcc295`. This gave me a new error that seems to explain the real problem. configure: error: GRUB requires GAS .code16 addr32 support; upgrade your binutils Without upgrading to 4.x Stable, is their a way I can upgrade binutils? Is their an alternative way to get GRUB other than me installing Debian onto some free disk space(I was going to do this anyway)? I'm currently using 3.x Stable which was just cvsupped recently(over a 56k line no less).
