>How-To-Repeat:
Do a "configure" and a "make bootstrap".
>Fix:
Unknown -- I've tried a few things but nothing has worked. My next step is to go back a version. I did see that both 3.2.2 and 3.2.1 have built successfully on a similar platform, so it's not obvious what I'm doing wrong to make this happen.
