Hi,

I obviously don't suffer from this bug, because I am bulding Qt with GCC.
So GCC is already built. The whole thread is in fact too long - I am sorry
for that. It began with problems bulding GCC, then it continued with
problems building other programs with GCC. I guess the transition has not
been very clear, but for me both issues are related, as building GCC
includes testing GCC on some software we use here.

In fact, I have built GCC with GNU as/ld (bootstraping with EGCS using
itself GNU as/ld and putting GNU as/ld in my PATH and /usr/ccs/bin out
of my PATH). I do have 107058-01 installed but this should have no
incidence using such a configuration.

Thanks,
