bootstrap failure of 3.0.3 on aix4.3.3

[Robert A Nesius <rnesius at ichips dot intel dot com>]

I encountered the following failure while building gcc 3.0.3
on aix 4.3.3 w/ a snapshot of binutils from 10.21.2001 that
I have used successfully with 3.0.2.

<pdxfs32 162> /tmp/gcc/aix43-gcc303 # cat config.status
#!/bin/sh
# This file was generated automatically by configure.  Do not edit.
# This directory was configured as follows:
../gcc-3.0.3/configure --with-gcc-version-trigger=/tmp/gcc/gcc-3.0.3/gcc/version.c --host=powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0 --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/intel/pkgs/gcc/3.0.3 --with-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/intel/pkgs/gcc/3.0.3/bin/gas --norecursion
#  using "mt-frag"


After the last configure, this seems to be during a stage2/stage3
comparison?
