Using gcc-2.95.3 and /usr/ccs/bin/as

in gcc-3.0 ran mkdir objdir
cd objdir
../configure --disable-nls --disable-libgcj --enable-languages=c++,f77,objc
make bootstrap

after some time gives output

and then quits.  Had no problem creating gcc-2.95.3 on

>How-To-Repeat:
Run the same commands as above.
>Fix:
None known.   I have been able to get this to compile
with the same commands on a SPARC running Solaris 8.
