Thanks for the response, that fixed it!

Now I run into
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2012-02/msg00207.html

which seems to be
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46250

So I think, from what I gather, this prevents gcc from being compiled
(or the libraries at least), therefore it's not possible to compile a
compiler capable of compiling programs generating >2GB executables, at
this time?

Thanks for your help,
Adrian
