That seems to be it, and the cure is to add --enable-stage1- 
languages=c,c++ (as per the bugreport).

In fact, it seems to effect both Darwin8 & 9 when building in-tree  
GMP (so possibly others too).

The problem appeared between 148251 and 151057 (yeah, a big gap I  
know.. busy with other things).

Note that I haven't changed the GMP - so the fail *is* as a result of  
some aspect of the gcc build process changing.
presumably, most likely the upgrade in auto* tools.

I'll add a comment to the bugreport when the darwin9 build finishes.

thanks again,
Iain
