Comparison failure Comiling 4.2 svn on RedHat EL-3

["Atwood, Robert C" <r dot atwood at imperial dot ac dot uk>]

Suppose for some reason I wish not to install Red Hat 4 or some other
system, so the first obvious solution is not available.

I tried building 4.2 from svn on a Red Hat EL3 (Dell PowerEdge 2600
Intel P4 2.8) and obtained a comparison error between stage2 and stage3.
Any help, or pointers to other info I missed finding?

Thanks. 
Robert



Here's some info about the version and system:

[root@xe01 gcc]# svnversion .
122433M

I made the following change inspired by googleing the previous mailing
list entries, otherwise it would not get anywhere at all:


[root@xe01 gcc]# svnversion .
122433M
[root@xe01 gcc]# svn status
M      gcc/config/host-linux.c
[root@xe01 gcc]# svn diff gcc/config/host-linux.c

For simplicity...'c' only... configured with:
