g++ accepts such (illegal) constructs with the option @option{-fpermissive}; it
will assume that any missing type is 'int' (as defined by C89).
For Solaris 8, t<h3><a name="older"></a>Older systems</h3>
<p>GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early
1990s) Unix variants. For the most part, support for these systems
has not been deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for
several years and may suffer from bitrot. Support from some systems
has been removed from GCC 3: fx80, ns32-ns-genix, pyramid, tahoe,
gmicro, spur; most of these targets had not been updated since GCC
version 1.</p>
<p>Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less
problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an
enthusiast wishes to make such a target work again
(including resurrecting any of the targets that never worked with GCC
2, starting from the last CVS version before they were removed),
patches <a href="../contribute.html">following the usual
requirements</a> would be likely to be accepted, since they should not
affect the support for more modern targets.</p>
<p>Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the
workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the
cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC. In some cases, to
bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may
require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that
system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in
the vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in
the old-releases directory on the <a href="../mirrors.html">GCC mirror
sites</a>. Header bugs may generally be avoided using
<code>fixincludes</code>, but bugs or deficiencies in libraries and
the operating system may still cause problems.</p>
<p>For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful,
and are available from pub/binutils/old-releases on <a
href="http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html">sources.redhat.com
mirror sites</a>.</p>
<p>Some of the information on specific systems above relates to
such older systems, but much of the information
about GCC on such systems (which may no longer be applicable to
current GCC) is to be found in the GCC texinfo manual.</p>
