You're not the only one. Something is wrong in the Makefile script,
because I got the same error on a RedHat box:
cvs [update aborted]: reading libjava/sysdep/i386/locks.h: Too many levels of symbolic links
Basically, something in the Makefile is linking
libjava/sysdep/<arch>/locks.h to itself, causing an infinite link
recursion. It is also affecting compilation:
...
linking ../../../gcc/libjava/sysdep/i386/locks.h to sysdep/locks.h
configure: error: ../../../gcc/libjava/sysdep/i386/locks.h: File not found
make[2]: *** [Makefile] Error 1
I'm not sure who is responsible, but would you like to file a
high-priority PR since you found it first? I'm cc'ing the gcc list, in
case anyone knows what went wrong.
