I use Sid GNU/Debian x86.
How is your checkout and build procedure.?

I checked out everything. 
$ cvs -z 9 co gcc

then I did
$ cd gcc
$ ./configure --enable-shared --enable-languages=c++,java
--enable-threads=posix --prefix=$HOME/gcc
$ make
$ make install

$ cd libjava
$ ./configure --enable-interpreter --prefix=$HOME/gcc
$ make
$ make install

I had to apply the patch which removed the
(unsigned jint) 
from natSystem.cc since my compiling gcc didn't like that. (from
bugzilla)

I had to manually compile gc-boehm (same procedure) and
- libffi
- zlib

but then everything built smoothly.


thanks in advance for any pointers
