Lately, I have found it necessary to start with 'make clean' before updating 
source, to avoid getting stage2 to stage 3 comparison failures. I suppose 
that may have been part of the instructions all along.  However, that also 
uncovers more compiler errors. You may find that stage 3 to stage 4 passes 
comparison.

This is only one of the ways I have found to get g++ components built in the 
wrong order.  I suspect many of us have tested g++ which straddle 2 versions. 
 make -j on a box with 500MB or more does give a feeling of power, though.  
Even works to some extent on Win2K.
