GCC 3.0.1 on Tru64 Unix 5.1 libibery.a won't build

[wadedl at gat dot com]

Dear GCC-HELP;

  I am trying to build gcc 3.0.1 on my dual processor Alphaserver 1200 running
Tru64 Unix Version 5.1 (OSF1 gaws12 V5.1 732 alpha). 
I am building with the OS compiler
     Compaq C Version 6.4 for Compaq Tru64 UNIX Systems
I have no gcc on this system. I would prefer to build from the source, rather
than accept Compaqs pre-compiled on the freebie disk.
I have built the following which are in /usr/local/tmp/gnu/bin, which is
in my path:

     make 3.79.1
     flex 2.5.4a
     bison 1.28 
     binutils 2.11.2

I am setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to search the library /usr/local/tmp/gnu/lib
(contains libraries for above utilites only).

After untarring the distribution, (gcc-3.0.1) I create a directory objdir
in which to build. In objdir I execute
   ../gcc-3.0.1/configure -prefix=/usr/local/tmp/gnu -exec-prefix=/usr/local/tmp/gnu -enable-shared

Configure finishes fine.

However, when I build, using

make bootstrap  (or sometimes just make)

my build blows up with a truncated libiberty.a.

The tail of the build messages is:

rm -f libiberty.a
ar rc libiberty.a \
  argv.o choose-temp.o concat.o cplus-dem.o cp-demangle.o dyn-string.o fdmatch.o fnmatch.o getopt.o getopt1.o getpwd.o getruntime.o hashtab.o hex.o floatformat.o lbasename.o md5.o objalloc.o obstack.o partition.o pexecute.o safe-ctype.o sort.o spaces.o splay-tree.o strerror.o strsignal.o xatexit.o xexit.o xmalloc.o xmemdup.o xstrdup.o xstrerror.o  asprintf.o mkstemps.o vasprintf.o strncmp.o 
ar: libiberty.a: File truncated
make[1]: *** [libiberty.a] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/tmp/objdir/libiberty'

The problem seems to be with the object file fnmatch.o, because when this is
removed from the libiberty/Makefile, the archive build of libiberty completes
. There are, however, errors downstream from this, presumably because of the 
missing library fnmatch.

Does someone know what is going on? Can someone guide me past this - 
I'm looking for a clean build of the whole gcc 3.0.1 (or 3.0) distribution.

Thanks
Yours,
David L. Wade
