                     30: The Configuration File
                     31: **********************
                     32: 
                     33:    The configuration file `xm-MACHINE.h' contains macro definitions
                     34: that describe the machine and system on which the compiler is running.
                     35: Most of the values in it are actually the same on all machines that
                     36: GNU CC runs on, so large parts of all configuration files are
                     37: identical.  But there are some macros that vary:
                     38: 
                     39: `FAILURE_EXIT_CODE'
                     40:      A C expression for the status code to be returned when the
                     41:      compiler exits after serious errors.
                     42: 
                     43: `SUCCESS_EXIT_CODE'
                     44:      A C expression for the status code to be returned when the
                     45:      compiler exits without serious errors.
                     46: 
                     47: `USE_C_ALLOCA'
                     48:      Define this macro to indicate that the compiler is running with
                     49:      the `alloca' implemented in C.  This version of `alloca' can be
                     50:      found in the file `alloca.c'; to use it, you must also alter the
                     51:      `Makefile' variable `ALLOCA'.
                     52: 
                     53:      This macro, unlike most, describes the machine that the compiler
                     54:      is running on, rather than the one the compiler is compiling for.
                     55:      Therefore, it should be set in the `xm-MACHINE.h' file rather
                     56:      than in the `tm-MACHINE.h' file.
                     57: 
                     58:      If you do define this macro, you should probably do it as follows:
                     59: 
                     60:           #ifndef __GNUC__
                     61:           #define USE_C_ALLOCA
                     62:           #else
                     63:           #define alloca __builtin_alloca
                     64:           #endif
                     65: 
                     66:      so that when the compiler is compiled with GNU CC it uses the
                     67:      more efficient built-in `alloca' function.
                     68: 
                     69:    In addition, configuration files for system V define `bcopy',
                     70: `bzero' and `bcmp' as aliases.  Some files define `alloca' as a macro
                     71: when compiled with GNU CC, in order to take advantage of the benefit
                     72: of GNU CC's built-in `alloca'.
                     73:
