Roger that.  It seems a bit unnecessary since HP's ansic compiler
seems to work just fine while building the stage1 gcc, but the
stage1 gcc subsequently passes ld 32-bit and 64-bit objects
and the build blows up, so something isn't quite right.  I'm not
convinced it's not a build engineering issue, but I lack the
knowledge to jump into the guts of this build and figure out where
the problem is if one does in fact exist.

Thanks for your response!
