Probably the version of toy you downloaded no longer works with that version
of GCC.

You are probably better off to use treelang, which is a replacement for toy
but which is kept up to date. At this stage you will need to download it as
part of the GCC source tree using cvs, to get the latest version of the main
source tree branch.

Then follow the instructions for building GCC, making sure to include treelang
in the --enable-languages= parameter of the configure statement.

You can email me if you have any problems. Try and follow the instructions
carefully.
