egcs-971008: Assembler error in new1.cc for i686-sun-solaris2.5.1

[Bernard Michaud <bmichaud at excom dot com>]

Greetings all!

The "make" step for egcs-971008 fails with the following error:

./frame

The configure was done for i686-sun-solaris2.5.1 -- this is intended for a
dual Pentium Pro running Solaris 2.5.1 for x86.  I believe this error was
reported by someone else for the same platform in the egcs-970929 build,
but no one responded.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
