ME TOO!

I am using gcc 2.2.2 to try to make libg++-2.2, and I get complaints about
dummy.o too.  My machine is a DECStation 5000 model 240 running ultrix V4.2A
I also tried gcc-2.1 and libg++-2.0 which got me other errors.  I'd
be happy with any working pair.

With gcc 2.2.2 and a make of libg++ 2.2  I get :

echo "# !Automatically generated from ./functions.def"   "- DO NOT EDIT!" >needed2.awk
grep '^DEFVAR(' < ./functions.def   | sed -e '/DEFVAR/s|DEFVAR.\([^,]*\).*|/\1/

Stop.

And with gcc gcc-2.1 and a make of libg++-2.0 I get

I'd appreciate any help,
