No problems here with egcs-1.0.2 prerelease.

I guess, that's the culprit, --without-anything doesn't actually do what it's
supposed to. Since you don't have GNU ld, simply omit this parameter.
Another hint, you shouldn't configure and build directly inside the sources;
create an ancestor directory `egcs-1.0.2-hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20' and work
there using the --srcdir=../egcs-1.0.2 stuff. It's much easier then to
build for more than one system in parallel, to figure out what you'd needed
to change in the sources, to really clean the directory, ... ; and, it's
actually safe (there are bugs in the configuration mechanism which are fixed
in the latest snapshots).
