failed build

[Adam Wiggins]

I'm getting a failed build.  I'm currently using egcs 1.1.1 (which I built
on this system, along with previous versions of egcs, without problems).
egcs 1.1.2 failed to build.  I thought maybe there was a patching problem
so I downloaded the entire 1.1.2 archive just to be safe.  Same error.

It looks like this:

My system is:
Linux ea 2.2.1 #15 Fri Mar 5 17:39:35 PST 1999 i686 unknown

It's libc5, based on an older (3.2?) version of Slackware.
If any more info would be helpful, email me directly (I assume this is a
mailing list - I'm not on it).
