I checked http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html
Under "Tools/packages necessary for modifying GCC" it has
autogen version 5.5.4 (or later)
My fault, but... I'm just testing my bootstrap and am not intending to modify
gcc, so I didn't pay attention to this section. Especially since the boostrap
of gcc and g++ seemed to go OK this time. I now see that many of the other
packages listed are also prerequsites for testing gcc and not only
prerequisties for modifying gcc.
Maybe the heading should say:
"Tools/packages necessary for testing or modifying GCC"
to save newbies like me from hours and hours of pain and frustration?
