installing gcc-4.3.2 on powerpc running OS 10.4.11

[Yolande Serra <serra at atmo dot arizona dot edu>]

Hi,

I am trying to install gcc-4.3.2 on my mac G5 running 10.4.11. It is  
a powerpc 64-bit machine. I am installing with gcc-4.0.0 (Apple  
provided).

I sent a message earlier to this mailing list about a problem with  
mpfr. That has worked out. I just needed to set the CFLAGS the same  
as when gmp and mpfr were compiled.

Now I am getting this error when I run make in my build directory:

Sorry about the long paste but I'm not sure if the "untranslated  
messages" part above are important or relevant to the error that  
finally causes make to stop.

Thanks, Yolande
