you really should build in a sibling to the gcc-3.1 directory. Do something
like
	tar xvzf gcc-3.1.tgz
	mkdir i686-pc-linuxgnu ;# or whatever makes sense
	cd i686-pc-linuxgnu
	../gcc-3.1/configure --all-those-args
	make bootstrap
Convoluted - yes, but such is life.

hm, not sure. what version of binutils do you have? (what does
	as -v
tell you?) On my rh72. system I have 2.11.93, which appears to be from the
OS install (
	rpm -qa | grep binut
says
	binutils-2.11.93.0.2-11
I know the current release is 2.12 though.

Yes please use GNATS, ones sent solely to the mailing list are likely
to fall through cracks.
