Cannot build recent snapshots on UnixWare 2.1.2

[acs at acm dot org]

On my UnixWare 2.1.2 (SVR4.2MP) system, I'm having the same difficulty
building snapshot 971023 as I had building 971016; the result of the
stage1 compiler will not work.  I had previously built the 970910
snapshot with no difficulty.  I cannot build the 971023 snapshot using 
either the native compiler or gcc.

	cd ./egcs-971023
	./configure --prefix=/usr/local/egcs-971023 --with-gnu-as
Configuring for a i386-pc-sysv4.2uw2.1.2 host.
Created "Makefile" in /home/acs/egcs-971023 using "config/mh-sysv4"
Links are now set up to build a native compiler for i386-pc-sysv4.2uw2.1.2
	cd ./gcc
	ln -s /usr/local/binutils-2.8.1/bin/as .
	make LANGUAGES=c
	make stage1

This produces a compiler which dumps core on a simple hello world
program:

Here's the backtrace:

I've tried building this with both binutils-2.8.1 and HJ's
binutils-2.8.1.0.15; I get the same results with each.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.
