Hi,

I've got a few problems getting swish made on a remote host.   ./configure 
proceeds to its natural conclusion but when I move on to 'make', it doesn't 
get far at all.  Shown below is the beginning of what happens after typing 
'make' in shell:

making swish-e
(cd src; make)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/httpd/html/swish223/src'
gcc -Wall -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSWISH_VERSION=\"2.2.3\" -Iexpat/xmltok 
-Iexpat/xmlparse   -g -O2 -c -o fs.o fs.c
/tmp/cc2GFXvk.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc2GFXvk.s:671: Warning: Unrecognized .section attribute: want a,w,x
/tmp/cc2GFXvk.s:671: Warning: Unrecognized .section attribute: want a,w,x
/tmp/cc2GFXvk.s:671: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is

/tmp/cc2GFXvk.s:786: Warning: Unrecognized .section attribute: want a,w,x
 etc
etc etc

My search of the web indicates that this type of warning occurs when gcc is 
incorrectly compiled (without proper links having been established between 
assembler and gcc ???).  I guess that swish draws on some capacity of gcc/as 
that the packages already compiled on that server do not draw upon, otherwise 
the server probably wouldn't wouldn't work at all.  

It would seem that this problem could be overcome if my web host would 
recompile gcc correctly.  They refuse to do this, however, because of 
agreements between them and those who provided their server package. :-( 

So I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this sort of problem and might 
know of any special 'flags' that can be included at command line when 
./configuring then making swish, and which would work around this 'orrible 
problem ?

Swish version is 2.2.3

Cheers,

Andrew
