--- Comment #10 from David Edelsohn <dje at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I had not realized that Bash-isms had crept into Autoconf, but I am not
surprised. Using KSH to bootstrap is extremely slow and causes other problems.
Both Bull Freeware for AIX and Perzl websites have RPMs for recent releases of
GCC, so I do not understand the "ancient" comment.
The GCC build process really wants any non-GCC bootstrap compiler to be called
"cc". If you want to add more options, you likely need to create a script in
your $HOME/bin directory in your path and insert the option there.
