Installation bug for AIX 4.3.2

[Gregory Hicks]

Geoff (Or whomever is available to help with this):

Greetings.  Finally got a make (from previous version of gcc) and make
install (of 2.95.2) to run on the machine.  Setting the
"LDFLAGS=-Wl,-bbigtoc" worked like a champ!  Thanks!

I then tried to use the just installed 2.95.2 verison to compile the
2.95.2 that was to be mounted in the final directory
(/usr/ngnu/gcc-2.95.2).  The compile worked.  The "make install" did
not.  The error message returned is as follows:

Any further thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
