I'm having some trouble compiling the baseR3.14.5 with ccppc version
2.95.4 on Enterprise Linux for a ppc604 target (running vxWorks5.4).  I'm
not having this trouble with baseR3.13.4, but maybe it doesn't try include
netinet/in.h.  Here's the make error:

Where did you get that particular compiler from, and why do you think it will work with vxWorks 5.4? Our Tornado 2.0 and 2.0.2 installations (vxWorks versions 5.4 and 5.4.2) report this compiler version:

phoebus% /usr/local/vw/tornado20/host/sun4-solaris2/bin/ccppc -v
gcc driver version cygnus-2.7.2-960126 egcs-971225 tornado 2.0 executing gcc version cygnus-2.7.2-960126

Our Tornado 2.2 installation (vxWorks 5.5) reports this version:

phoebus% /usr/local/vw/tornado22/host/sun4-solaris2/bin/ccppc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/vw/tornado22/host/sun4-solaris2/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/gcc-2.96/specs
gcc version gcc-2.96 (2.96+) 19990621 AltiVec VxWorks 5.5

Both of the above compilers can be built for Linux from source code provided by David Thompson of SNS at the following URL:
http://ics-web1.sns.ornl.gov/share/crossGCC/
These versions build all EPICS versions properly on PowerPC, and I would strongly recommend that you use them instead of trying to "fix" EPICS - you'll end up with problems at load time if you use the wrong compiler version because the exception handling support code that the OS must provide is very different between these versions of GCC.
