installation problem: bug or not ?

dear GNU-GCC person,

I've tried to upgrade my gcc and failed:

uname -a
OSF1 stef.ijs.si V5.0 1094 alpha

after configure the procedure dies in make bootstrap
when trying to build gcc-2.95

gcc -v
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/alphaev56-dec-osf4.0e/2.8.1/specs
gcc version 2.8.1

gcc  -DIN_GCC -DHAIFA    -g   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -o cc1 toplev.o version.o tree.o print-tree.o stor-layout.o fold-const.o  function.o stmt.o except.o expr.o calls.o expmed.o explow.o optabs.o  intl.o varasm.o rtl.o print-rtl.o rtlanal.o emit-rtl.o genrtl.o real.o  dbxout.o sdbout.o dwarfout.o dwarf2out.o xcoffout.o bitmap.o alias.o gcse.o  integrate.o jump.o cse.o loop.o unroll.o flow.o stupid.o combine.o varray.o  regclass.o regmove.o local-alloc.o global.o reload.o reload1.o caller-save.o  insn-peep.o reorg.o haifa-sched.o final.o recog.o reg-stack.o  insn-opinit.o insn-recog.o insn-extract.o insn-output.o insn-emit.o lcm.o  profile.o insn-attrtab.o alpha.o getpwd.o  convert.o  mbchar.o dyn-string.o splay-tree.o graph.o sbitmap.o resource.o hash.o c-parse.o c-lang.o c-lex.o c-pragma.o c-decl.o c-typeck.o c-convert.o  c-aux-info.o c-common.o c-iterate.o  obstack.o       -lmld ../libiberty/libiberty.a
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
//bin/ld:
Unresolved:
ASM_FILE_START
*** Exit 1
Stop.

the same happens using native TRUE UNIX 5.0A Compaq compiler:

cc  -DIN_GCC -DHAIFA    -g   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -o cc1 toplev.o version.o tree.o print-tree.o stor-layout.o fold-const.o  function.o stmt.o except.o expr.o calls.o expmed.o explow.o optabs.o  intl.o varasm.o rtl.o print-rtl.o rtlanal.o emit-rtl.o genrtl.o real.o  dbxout.o sdbout.o dwarfout.o dwarf2out.o xcoffout.o bitmap.o alias.o gcse.o  integrate.o jump.o cse.o loop.o unroll.o flow.o stupid.o combine.o varray.o  regclass.o regmove.o local-alloc.o global.o reload.o reload1.o caller-save.o  insn-peep.o reorg.o haifa-sched.o final.o recog.o reg-stack.o  insn-opinit.o insn-recog.o insn-extract.o insn-output.o insn-emit.o lcm.o  profile.o insn-attrtab.o alpha.o getpwd.o  convert.o  mbchar.o dyn-string.o splay-tree.o graph.o sbitmap.o resource.o hash.o c-parse.o c-lang.o c-lex.o c-pragma.o c-decl.o c-typeck.o c-convert.o  c-aux-info.o c-common.o c-iterate.o  obstack.o       -lmld ../libiberty/libiberty.a
ld:
Unresolved:
ASM_FILE_START
*** Exit 1

?????

after makeing make distclean in the 2.8.1 directory now I can also not rebuild old version due to unrecognized system ....

I also did not a report of a similar problem in your FAQ pages

with my best wishes, dusan turk
