gcc make bootstrap fails with: /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `(C'

["Peter Viitasaari" <pjviitas at flash dot lakeheadu dot ca>]

gcc version: 2.95.2

libstdc++ version: 2.90.6

machine: i586-pc-linux-gnu

directories used: gccsrcdir: /root/installs/gcc-2.95.2

recipe for disaster:

Starting in /root/installs/gcc-2.95.2 do this:

 

   mv libstdc++ libstdc++-v2
   mv libio libio-v2

 

   tar xzf ../libstdc++-2.90.6.tar.gz

 

   ln -s libstdc++-2.90.6 libstdc++

 

   cd ../objdir
   ../gcc-2.95.2/configure --prefix=/usr
   make bootstrap

Fix: I am not too sure but it seems like some of the script variables are not being passed into the libstdc++ makefile.  Is the libstdc++ have to be made before gcc is bootstapped?
