Richard,
how about the following update? A colleague of mine experienced this kind
of problem today while installing GCC 2.95.x on an alpha box running SuSE

(Perhaps you could have a look at the alpha section in general? It seems
a bit outdated, as far as I can tell, but I'm not an alpha/linux guru.)
Thanks,
Gerald
