Unable to bootstrap compiler.

[John Fitzpatrick]

Hello all,

I am having a problem when I try to bootstrap the compiler.  Following
is a typescript that demonstrates the problem.  Here is some background
information:

Output of uname -a:

Linux mayday 2.6.5-7.111-default #1 Wed Oct 13 15:45:13 UTC 2004 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Output of gcc --version for version of gcc I am trying to bootstrap:

gcc (GCC) 4.1.0 20050528 (experimental)

Obviously the problem is that the makefile doesn't have the target
"bootstrap" in it.  Is this a bug?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Sincerely,
