Re: i486-linux-glibc1 Bootstrap failure in 3.0

Thanks for the reply.  

I think I'm just going to wait until 3.0.1 or .2 comes out--this is a
noncritical box, and compile times are very very long.

BTW, there are clearly several optimization issues that must be dealt
with for x86's.  The testsuites have always generated additional
failures when lots of optimization is turned on.
