Re: Building gcc-4.4.0

["Bill McEnaney" <bill at rkirkpat dot net>]

Thanks, Kai.  Where do I get tools.zip?  I would have thought the zip
file would be in the tarball.  But after I untarred gcc-4.4.0.tar, I
told the workstation to search the whole hard disk for tools.zip.  It
couldn't find that file.  Now I'm waiting for building to end
abnoramally, so I can show everybody part of the typescript file the
machine is creating.
