Now I know not to hit "enter" to go from one field to another.  Maybe submitting
the error report when the user hits "enter" should be disabled.

I'm getting many error messages in stage1 of the bootstrap process of the form

banach-8% grep 'invalid character' build.log | sort | uniq -c

OBJS-onestep

      1 mklibgcc: invalid character 45 in exportstr for OBJS-onestep

I'm using this version of bash and gcc:

char 45 is '-' so it looks like exportstr on solaris does not like '-' in the string.
Comment 3 Eric Botcazou 2003-10-28 09:11:24 UTC 
I don't see them with ksh, which is the recommended shell to bootstrap the
compiler with on Solaris. Could you try to bootstrap with it?

This is not a GCC bug but rather a bash bug, report it to them.
