egcs 1.0.2 fails on alpha-redhat-linux-gnu

[Stephen Williams <steve at icarus dot icarus dot com>]

Sorry in advance if this is a repeat, I didn't see my previous post come
back, so I think it got lost.

I configured without any parameters, config.status contains:

#!/bin/sh
# This file was generated automatically by configure.  Do not edit.
# This directory was configured as follows:
/usr/local/src/egcs-1.0.2/configure --host=alphaev5-unknown-linux-gnu --norecursion
#  using "/usr/local/src/egcs-1.0.2/config/mt-linux"

The C compiler seems to work fine, I've compiled and run a 2.1.89 kernel with
it. However, G++ seems to be hosed. I get a lot of warnings about
__exception_info fom stl header files, and the assembler blows up. Included
below are a log of a compile of one of my projects.

I may need to upgrade my binutils

	icarus.icarus.com % rpm -q binutils
	binutils-2.8.1.0.1-1

if someone tells me hich versions would work and where I can get them.
I can also send a preprocessed .i file, although it seems like an environmental
problem and I'll save the bandwidth until someone asks.
