I am surprised. I am a bash user, and that is what it should be picking
up...

Yes.


Here is more info:
1. Since it was past boostrap (i.e bootstrap was complete),
I decided that this failure might not be very bad.
2. I attempted an install, which went through all the steps
and failed at the same location.
3. However, the installed files seemed complete to me, so
I tried to build a few apps.
4. I built Python 2.1 for a 32 bit sample
5. I built lsof 4.70 for a 64 bit sample
6. They both built successfully and ran successfully.

I am thinking that these failures might be due to 
(a) me setting --disable-libgcj
(b) me setting --enable-languages=c,c++,objc
and the building of the sparcv9 dirs.

This did not happen on 2 other 32 bit builds.
1. Solaris 2.6
2. Linux 2.4

I am in the process of building for AIX 4.3.3 which does
support 64 bit exe's, and it is going well so far.


To conclude, I am not sure what caused it, I am not sure
if I am only adding noise, but I will keep everyone posted
if I have progress.

In the meantime, if anyone can point me to something, it
will be great. 

In the meantime, I thank Eric for his help.
