Cannot compile GCC on Ubuntu 7.10 x86_64

[Igor Chudov <ichudov at Algebra dot Com>]

I have a system with Ubuntu 7.10 based on x86_64. 

I am trying to compile some GCC version. This is really just a
benchmark test as I compare run times on various computers to see
which one is faster. 

Anyway, no matter what I try on this system, it tries to build 32 bit
versions, and cannot. I do not want them to be built, I just want a
build to finish. 

I tried gcc-4.2.3: 

./configure ; make clean all
./configure --disable-multilib ; make clean all
./configure --disable-multilib --with-arch=x86_64 ; make clean all
./configure --disable-multilib --with-arch=x86_64 --disable-targets=i386 ; make clean all 

The result I invariably get is this. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
