>Description:
Two command line options, --silent and --site=SITE are supported.  

Code on line 193 attempts to identify options that require, but are missing, values.  --site requires a value; --silent does not.  --si* matches both, so --silent is rejected as not having a required value.  Changing the code on line 193 from '--si*' to '--sit*' will trap --site with no value but allow --silent to pass.

Current workaround is to either patch the configure script before running it, or use the --quiet option.
>How-To-Repeat:
>From gcc_objdir, type
     ../gcc-2.95.2/configure --silent
>Fix:
In the gcc-2.95.2/configure script, line 193,
     " ... | --si* | ... "
should be changed to
     " ... | --sit* | ... ".
