trouble building gcc

Something else the occurred to me on the train home:

There's another problem using the default interix shell - it doesn't play
nice with libtool's install script. Somewhere around line 4450 in a
generated ltmain.sh

  # libtool install mode
  install)
    modename="$modename: install"

    # There may be an optional sh(1) argument at the beginning of
    # install_prog (especially on Windows NT).
    if test "$nonopt" = "$SHELL" || test "$nonopt" = /bin/sh ||
       # Allow the use of GNU shtool's install command.
       $echo "X$nonopt" | $Xsed | grep shtool > /dev/null; then

I think I had to add an extra 

    || test "$nonopt" = sh

in there. I don't think this is a problem if you use the bash binary I
linked.

In any case, I'll try and resurrect my interix3 build tree - and might even
get around to submitting patches for it! Let us know if you hit any more
problems.
