Need Help:gcc-2.8.1 on AIX 4.3.1.0

[saidun@my-deja.com]

Hi,
      I have downloaded gcc-2.8.1 from www-frec.bull.com for an RS6000
machine running AIX 4.3.1.0.  After installing the bff package, I run
the fixinclude program.  It looked like it was doing something, but
when I tried to compile the a simple program I got the following
results.  My question is what am I doing wrong?  Is there a way to build
gcc on a AIX when you do not have a C compiler?  I have also read some
place that I need ecgs on AIX 4.x.  What is ecgs?  I did not find it on
www-frec.bull.com, is it part of the gcc package?  As you can tell I am
new to this compiler business and need some help.

Thank you,

Sohrab
