    That's the key word *might*. What I read is that it hasn't had extensive 
testing. I should never have tried a build directory inside the source tree 
though because that is definately not supported.

    That's quite probably then what the problem was. This is the first 
version of gcc I've ever compiled that wasn't within the source directory. 
This version is evidently a "bird of a different feather".
