Build of gcc-3.1.1<Ada, C> for Red Hat 7.1

[Michael S. Zick <mszick at goquest dot com>]

1) Native for: 
i686-pc-linux-gnu           

2) gcc -v

gcc version 3.1.1                                             

3a) Compiled on:
Linux 2.4.18 #48 SMP Mon Jun 17 16:23:30 CDT 2002 i686 unknown

3b) Compiled against kernel headers: 2.4.2-2 (Red Hat-2)

4) Installed system library: glibc-2.2.2-10 (Red Hat-10)

5) Compile included (and compiled with) binutils-2.13

6) Initial compiler used: gnat-3.13p-8 (full, binary, rpm, install)

7) Untested. But, did triple build into working directories followed
by triple build into install directory.  Your basic, 18 stage (24 stage
if counting binutils), bootstrap.

8) Objectives:
   a) New compiler and binutils co-exist with installed system compiler
      and binutils.
   b) New compiler and binutils built against and build for, the (rather old) 
      installed glibc and kernel-headers.
   c) New compiler and binutils can be selected by prepending their location
      (/opt/gcc-3.1.1/<bin,lib>) to "PATH" and "LD_LIBRARY_PATH".

9) b-zip'd tar-ball of the gcc-3.1.1(Ada & C) with binutils-2.13 binaries to
be posted as soon as I can find a place for them (23MB).  Should be good for 
any Linux, i686, glibc 2.2.2, kernel-header-2.4.2 compatible system.

10) The gcc/INSTALL files could use some help - will post something later.

11) Build hint: Don't let the household Wolf near the power cord while doing
a 24 stage build.
