RE: Bootstrap failure in gcc-ss-20000911

In http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2000-09/msg00298.html I reported a
bootstrap failure on an i686-linux-gnu box in the compare stage.  The
last snapshot built.

I'm using optimized CFLAGS & CXXFLAGS of:

-O3 -march=i686 -funroll-loops -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer
 -fforce-mem -fforce-addr -malign-jumps=3 -malign-functions=3
 -malign-loops=3 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3

and run make as:

		 make bootstrap MAKE="make -j 2" -j 2.

I decided to look at the compare manually and found that some (but not
all) of the problem stems from the fact that stage1 doesn't seem to
build cp, fortran or java and hence all the corresponding tests fail
because the stage1 directories are empty.

On the other hand, there are large differences in things like c-common.o:

ls -l c-common.o stage1/c-common.o gives:

-rw-r--r--   1 ronis    ronis       83784 Sep 12 20:16 c-common.o
-rw-r--r--   1 ronis    ronis      202684 Sep 12 19:54 stage1/c-common.o
