4.2 build problem on redhat x86_64

[Andrew Bell]

Hi,

I'm trying to build 4.2.2 on a redhat x86_64 system.  I get the
following during the configuration process that happens during make
bootstrap:

...
configuring stage 1 in ./bfd
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... Invalid configuration
`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized

checking target system type... Invalid configuration
`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized

checking build system type... Invalid configuration
`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized
...

And a little later:

checking whether ln -s works... yes
ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed

Here's the configure line (same behavior without the variables defined)

$ LIBRARY_PATH=/network/lib64 C_INCLUDE_PATH=/network/include
/home/acbell/gcc/gcc-4.2.2/configure --prefix=/home/acbell/gcc/bindir

Here's the build command:

$ LIBRARY_PATH=/network/lib64 C_INCLUDE_PATH=/network/include make bootstrap

Any ideas appreciated.
