Error whilst compiling egcs-core-19990314.tar.gz

[Yusuf Goolamabbas]

Hi, I downloaded egcs-core-19990314.tar.gz from the ftp server and 
configured it via the following command

../egcs-19990314/configure --prefix=/usr/local/site/egsnap \
--enable-languages=c

On doing a make bootstrap, I get

ln cccp cpp
sed: can't read cp/Makefile: No such file or directory
gmake[2]: *** [../../egcs-19990314/gcc/cp/parse.c] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/egobj/gcc'
gmake[1]: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/egobj/gcc'
gmake: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

I tried to configure it via the following command line
../egcs-19990314/configure --prefix=/usr/local/site/egsnap \
--disable-languages=c++,CHILL,f77,java,objc

for which I get

onfiguring for a i686-pc-linux-gnu host.
Created "Makefile" in /usr/local/src/egobj using "mt-frag"
Configuring libiberty...
configure: error: languages=c++,objc,CHILL,java,f77: invalid feature name
Configure in /usr/local/src/egobj/libiberty failed, exiting.


If I bring in the complete snapshot egcs-19990314.tar.gz, It compiles
cleanly with the first configure command, 

Is it neccasary to download the snapshot for all languages even though 
I just want to try the C compiler and runtime

Thanks, Yusuf
