compile of egcs-1.1.2 failed ... ?

[Ingo Bormuth]

We tried to build egcs-1.1.2 because it is needed to compile a 2.4.3-XFS linux kernel.

We tried on TWO different systems:

	A) SuSE 7.2 with 
		kernel 2.4.4
		gcc-2.95.3-52
		gnu-libc6-2.2.2-38
		gnu-libc-devel-2.2.2-38

	B) Debian unstable with
		kernel 2.2.17
		gcc-2.95.4-1
		gnu-libc6-2.2.3-6
		gnu-libc6-devel-2.2.3-6

We downloaded:
	egcs-core-1.1.2.tar.bz2
	egcs-g++-1.1.2.tar.bz2

Extracted it, mkdir <objdir>, cd <objdir>, <egcs-1.1.2-srcdir>/configure.
This built a Makefile for the target-system: i586-pc-linux-gnu.

"make bootstrap" on bouth machines A and B in brought the following 
error-messages:

But what went wrong ???

Help would be very apreciated.
