make gcc fails: intl/libintl.h not found

[michael shiloh <michael at magrittesystems dot com>]

hello,

  summary: make gcc fails, intl/libintl.h: No such file or directory
  gcc: 3.0.3
  host: Linux 2.4.9-21
  target: arm-elf

specific steps:

Configure GCC:

  set path = ( /tools/H-i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin $path )
  mkdir -p /tmp/build/gcc
  cd /tmp/build/gcc
  /src/gcc/gcc-3.0.3/configure --target=arm-elf \
    --prefix=/tools \
    --exec-prefix=/tools/H-i686-pc-linux-gnu \
    --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-newlib \
    -v  |& tee configure.out

Build and install GCC:

  make -w all-gcc install-gcc LANGUAGES="c c++" |& tee make.out    

error:

    gcc -DCROSS_COMPILE -DIN_GCC    -g -O2 -W -Wall
      -Wwrite-strings 
      -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wtraditional 
      -pedantic -Wno-long-long  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    
      -I. -I. -I/src/gcc/gcc-3.0.3/gcc 
      -I/src/gcc/gcc-3.0.3/gcc/.
      -I/src/gcc/gcc-3.0.3/gcc/config 
      -I/src/gcc/gcc-3.0.3/gcc/../include -c
      /src/gcc/gcc-3.0.3/gcc/c-parse.c
    In file included from /src/gcc/gcc-3.0.3/gcc/intl.h:28,
      from c-parse.y:41:
    libintl.h:1:26: intl/libintl.h: No such file or directory

now i did find a post saying: 

  [...]
  Well the intl dir's Makefile has a rule for building it:

  libintl.h: libgnuintl.h
          cp $(srcdir)/libgnuintl.h libintl.h

but i don't have libgnuintl.h either. i suspect this section
was being modified or fixed and possibly is not quite
finished; or else i'm doing something stupid.

any ideas?

thanks,
