	If you would please list some specific concerns, I think that
might help me understand why this could be dangerous. 

(IMHO, rerunning configure before stage 2 is the right thing to do.
The stage1 autoconf test results are only relevant to the stage1
compiler.  If we can alleviate dependency concerns, I feel this is the
right direction.)

	I listed a couple of bad :-) alternatives in:

http://www.cygnus.com/ml/egcs-bugs/1998-Nov/0469.html

none of which I really like.  Eg. revert the STABS_H->STAB_H fix, or
put in a solaris specific hack.

	I would be happy to consider an alternative.  But
unfortunately no good ones occur to me...
