Bootsrap comparison failure

[andy at softbookpress dot com]

I'm getting "Bootsrap comparison failure!" trying to build the snapshot
20001204
I'm using "make bootstrap" command
I configured the snapshot as follows:
"../gcc-20001204/configure --prefix=/home/andy/gcc-cur/gcc-beta
--enable-shared --enab
le-languages=c++ --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs"
The working gcc on the machine is 2.95.2
It's an armv4l-linux box
I saw a similiar message in this mailing list archive but it wasn't clear
what needed to be done to fix it
Any idea how to fix this ?
TIA, Andy


And here's the error message:
