g77 install problem on an i386 platform running FreeBSD 4.2.x O/S

[Joseph Maxwell <jemaxwell at jaymax dot com>]

  Hello,

I am running FreeBSD O/S 4.2x on an i386 architecture and attempting to
install the gcc v3.2.3 package in order to use the g77
Fortran compiler.

Steps:

      Downloaded, untarred etc.
      sh ./configure --with-f2c --with-g77
      make

           --
           --
           --

            if [ -z "" ]; then  true;  else  rootpre=`pwd`/; export
rootpre;  srcrootpre=`cd .; pwd`/; export
          srcrootpre;  lib=`echo ${rootpre} | sed -e
's,^.*/\([^/][^/]*\)/$,\1,'`;
          compiler="/usr/local/gcc-3.2.3/gcc/xgcc
-B/usr/local/gcc-3.2.3/gcc/
          -B/usr/local/i386-unknown-freebsd4.2/bin/
-B/usr/local/i386-unknown-freebsd4.2/lib/ -isystem
          /usr/local/i386-unknown-freebsd4.2/include";  for i in
`${compiler} --print-multi-lib 2>/dev/null`; do
          dir=`echo $i | sed -e 's/;.*$//'`;  if [ "${dir}" = "." ];
then  true;  else  if [ -d ../${dir}/${lib} ]; then
          flags=`echo $i | sed -e 's/^[^;]*;//' -e 's/@/ -/g'`;  if (cd
../${dir}/${lib}; make   CFLAGS="-O2 -g -O2
          ${flags}"  prefix="/usr/local"  exec_prefix="/usr/local"
GCJFLAGS="@GCJFLAGS@ ${flags}"
          CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 ${flags}"  LIBCFLAGS="-O2 -g -O2 ${flags}"
LIBCXXFLAGS="-g -O2
          -fno-implicit-templates ${flags}"  LDFLAGS=" ${flags}"
DESTDIR=""  all); then  true;  else  exit 1;
          fi;  else true;  fi;  fi;  done;  fi
            "Makefile", line 3110: Need an operator
            "Makefile", line 3515: Need an operator
            make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
            *** Error code 1

            Stop in /usr/local/gcc-3.2.3.

....................................................
Previous default compilation without the f2c & the g77 may have gone
well, didn't recall problem although it could have been
present.
Did a 'make clean'; 'make distclean'; and ultimately a 'rm -Rf
gcc-3.2.3';
Also did a make with a  'sh ./configure --with-f2c --with-g77
--with-f77=F77'
In all cases a similar 'Error code' and 'Stop in /usr/local/gcc-3.2.3.'
resulted

Could someone point out the error and suggest corrective steps

Thanks
