these are old source snapshots, which might be useful to track down bugs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION: it is recommended to uninstall both the compiler and libraries prior
building the tarball to avoid side effects caused by eg including
header files from another compiler/library version (this is especially
true for very old versions)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.7.0: (14-10-2001)
$ make -C src -f make/gcc.mak && make -C libsrc
note: fails with unexpected errors when building libs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.8.0: (12-04-2002)
$ make -C src -f make/gcc.mak && make -C libsrc
note: fails with unexpected errors when building libs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.10.1: (06-05-2004)
$ make -f make/gcc.mak
(this is funky, as none of the libs compiles with the compiler in this tarball)
fix: locate the files and make the arrays use fixed length:
errormsg.c(12): Error: Size of `_sys_errlist' is invalid
const char* const _sys_errlist[16] = {
locale.c(21): Error: Size of `EmptyString' is invalid
static char EmptyString [1] = "";
...etc (there will be more)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.11.0: (10-09-2005)
$ make -f make/gcc.mak
note: it all works as expected, except the docs are not built
fix: in doc/Makefile lines 59 and 84 are spaces before the required TAB, remove
them
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.12.0: (21-04-2008)
$ make -f make/gcc.mak
testsuite fails on: add3a, add3, array, casttochar, cc65090124, cc65090913,
cc65091007, cc65091020, cq4, cq715, cq85, macro,
strtol-test, strtoul-test, switch, wf1, yacc, yaccdbg
testsuite expected fails: fields, sitest
testsuite must (and do) fail: front
testsuite works although it should fail: cc65091001
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.13.2: (07-03-2010)
$ make -f make/gcc.mak
testsuite fails on: add3a, add3, casttochar, cc65101209, cc65101216
testsuite expected fails: fields, sitest
testsuite must (and do) fail: cc65091001, front
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.13.3: (08-02-2012)

testsuite must (and do) fail: cc65091001, front
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION: when switching revisions using git, make sure to use "make clean"
(or "make -f make/gcc.mak zap" on older versions) BEFORE using
something like
git checkout `git rev-list -n 1 --before="2013-01-01 13:37" master`
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
current git version:
$ make
testsuite fails on: add3a, add3
testsuite expected fails: fields, sitest
testsuite must (and do) fail: cc65091001, front
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
general notes regarding failed tests:
yacc, yaccdbg, charset fail on charset conversion issues when using c64 target/
x64 as simulator.
fields relies on weird bordercases regarding bitfields. not sure if it even
qualifies as failed.
sitest tests features yet unimplemented in cc65 so it can not work
