>Description:
All the compilers build fine; but as soon as the libjava build begins, I get the following error:

/tmp/gcc-3.2.objdir/gcc/gcj -B/tmp/gcc-3.2.objdir/i686-pc-cygwin/libjava/ -B/tmp

This is yet-another manifestation of the case-insensitivity bug, first reported back in April of 2001.  I believe there is a PR on this, but I could not find it.

Can anyone please tell me when this problem will be addressed?  I'm willing to help; but someone will have to point me in the right direction.

configure using the switches shown in the environment section, above, then make bootstrap.
