porting ksh on DG/UX

[Brian Kenney]

I am trying to port ksh (version 11/16/88d) to a DG 6220.
We are using GNU GCC version 1.37.23 (88k, Aug 15 1990) compiled
by GNU C version 1.37.

Here's the problem:  The assembler, as, gags on msg.s, which was created
by gcc from msg.c.

Here is the pertinent part of msg.c:
/* built in names */
const struct name_value node_names[] =
{
	"PATH",		NULL,	0,
	"PS1",		NULL,	0,
	"PS2",		"> ",	N_FREE,
        .
        . (lots of the same deleted, but you get the idea)
        .

};

Here is the offending code in msg.s:

@LC0:
	string	 "PATH\000"
	align	 4
@LC1:
	string	 "PS1\000"
	align	 4
@LC2:
	string	 "PS2\000"
	align	 4
.
.
. (lots of the same deleted)
.

_node_names:
	word	 @LC0
	word	 0
	half	 0
	set	.,.+2  <<<<<<<<<<< This is where the error occurs (line 590)
	word	 @LC1
	word	 0
	half	 0
	set	.,.+2  <<<<<<<<<<<
	word	 @LC2
	word	 @LC3
	half	 4096
	set	.,.+2  <<<<<<<<<<< 
.
.
.

Here is the error message:
	as: "msg.s": line 590: operand '.' type mismatch for 'set'

(The error repeats for every set, until the assembler quits due
to too many errors.)

Any ideas?

Thanks,

-Bri
