This should not be a problem, because gcc supports `//' in C, and the
only front-end that's supposed to build without gcc is the C
front-end.  That's why you must build gcc with `make bootstrap'.

This may be a real bug in gcc.  If you still get it with `make
bootstrap', please try a development snapshot, if possible.  If not,
or if the snapshot still has the problem, please report it again.
Thanks in advance.
