'no matching function' error while building egcs 1.1.2

[Kazuhisa Ichikawa <ki at home dot email dot ne dot jp>]

Greetings,

I encountered a couple of 'no matching function ...' errors while building
egcs-1.1.2 on SUN Solaris 2.5.1 (SPARC). The compiler I used to build egcs-1.1.2
is egcs-1.1.1(egcs-2.91.57).

I configured it as follows:

cd <egcs_top_dir>
mkdir objs
cd objs
../configure --enable-languages="c,c++"
make


The first error was:

=====
test x"no" != xyes || \
  /mnt/egcs-1.1.2/objs/gcc/xgcc -B/mnt/egcs-1.1.2/objs/gcc/ -c -g -O2

../../../libio/isscan.cc -o pic/isscan.o

and then:

I needed to change the sources as follows to make it build successfully.
