Well, since I was using the native assemble to begin with, I decided to go
with your second suggestion instead. With gcc-20010205, it got a *lot*
further, but failed at this point:

[...]

Stop.

Interestingly, stage1/xgcc is definitely still there at this point, and
it's been chewing along merrily recompiling itself for quite a while when
this happens. The contents of machname.h are:

#define MN_NAME_PAT "\\<i386\\>|\\<unix\\>"

I suspect that my machine's non-standard setup has something to do with
this (anything that seems to be checking the host type makes me nervous on
this machine), but I don't know enough about what the compilation process
is trying to accomplish here. 

Many thanks,
