gcc-4.1.2 builds fails on 64-bit machine due to stubs-32.h

[Oliver Kullmann <O dot Kullmann at swansea dot ac dot uk>]

Hello,

I need to build 4.1.2, and this on 64-bit machines,
and this for the users of my libraries.

Now the Internet is full of noise on failing gcc-builds
due to

error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory

and unfortunately I have to do something now --- apparently
nobody out there has any clue (or feels not responsible), so I can't
get any information.

So my question: What can I do to build gcc 4.1.2 on machines where
that error message

In file included from /usr/include/features.h:354,
                 from /usr/include/stdio.h:28,
                 from /compsci/saturn/staff/csoliver/OKplatform/ExternalSources/builds/Gcc/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/tsystem.h:90,
                 from /compsci/saturn/staff/csoliver/OKplatform/ExternalSources/builds/Gcc/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/crtstuff.c:68:
/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory
make[5]: *** [32/crtbegin.o] Error 1

shows up (when building gcc)??

One guess is that the "glibc-devel i386" (or "glibc 32 bit") libraries need to be installed?

(My problem is that I don't have access to these machines --- but if I can tell the users
to do something, and it cures the problem, then we all are happy.)

Thanks for any help!

Oliver
