compiler seems to hang during compile

[David]

Hello everyone,

  I am trying to build gcc 4.1.1 on an OLD laptop that I have.  It's been 
taking days for this to work (I need it so I can build the driver wrapper for 
my wireless card).  it seems to hang when it tries to build insn-attrtab.o 
during the stage 2 build.  it's been taking a relatively long time.  But it 
doesn't exactly freeze, I can easily hit ^C and it interrupts cleanly and ps 
reports that it's running.  Is this file known to take a long time to 
compile? am I missing something?

I  am running Linux 2.6.18, and I bui9lt it using:
make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 
-fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap-lean

anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
