gcc 2.95.2 install bug?

[Griff Miller]

Hi. On a Sun SPARC 20 running Solaris 2.5, I do this:

% cd /someplace
% zcat /my/path/to/gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz | tar xpf -

This, of course, creates /someplace/gcc-2.95.2 .

% mkdir objdir
% cd objdir

So now I am in /someplace/objdir .

% ../gcc-2.95.2/configure (I've also tried "/someplace/gcc-2.95.2/configure")
% make bootstrap-lean (I've also tried "make bootstrap")

It goes a while, then I get this:

[...]

In desperation, I ran ./configure in /someplace/gcc-2.95.2, and then
make bootstrap-lean, and it seems to be working fine.

Did I do something wrong, or is it a bug?
