Re: bootstrap/2236: config.if (gcc 2.95.2, possibly others) pukesif it can't find gl*bc


[About building gcc on a libc4.8 system]

I don't know whether gcc is supposed to support these _very very_ old 
systems any more, so I am unsure about how to proceed with this report.

Why don't you submit this patch (or a suitably modified form) to 
gcc-patches?
