Re: Error during "make bootstrap" during GCC 3.3 Creation

[Frank Krauss <fmfkrauss at mindspring dot com>]

Thank you for looking into my Problem.

1.  Your 100% correct about the Binutils being at the wrong Level.
     I somehow missed seeing that in the Pre-req section and I will look into
     updating that.

2.  I believe that my problem is actually caused by your 2nd suggestion
    concerning the level of GLIBC that I'm using.
    I didn't see any mention of a need for a specific version of GLIBC.

3.  In other words, do I have to update my GLIBC to a specific level
    before updating GCC?  I was under the impression that it was
    supposed to be done the opposite way, with first GCC getting updated
    and then using it to update GLIBC.

4.  Would you know of any doc available to show the correct procedure
     on updating these two Components?

I have enclosed the listing of my /lib/*libc* as you requested.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Frank
