2.95.1 on SunOS_4.1.4 fails to compile self on start up.

This appears to be a loss of functionality between versions.

I started from a state of having a 2.8.1 gcc compiler built and running.
It successfully compiled itself and the files were the same size. 

On loading 2.95.1, I was able to get the 2.8.1 compiler to build the
source code and install itself, but when I asked the 2.95.1 compiler to
build itself, it stopped immediately. The output is the same without the
-ansi flag. as the *.h files are the rebuilt ones, you would think
correction of system header files would be one of the tasks. This is the
output:

test x"no" != xyes || \
  gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -ansi -g -O2 -I. -I../../libiberty/../include  
../../libiberty/choose-temp.c -o pic/choose-temp.o
gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -ansi -g -O2 -I. -I../../libiberty/../include 
../../libiberty/choose-temp.c
