saw that.  Most linux people always asssume bash is the shell and it often leads to 
problems with piles of gnu projects. Many scripts in gnu software projects have "#! /bin/sh" in
them and then proceed with bash-ness and then fail on an OS where /bin/sh really is just 
the bourne shell.  I see it, all the time.

On other fronts, any thoughts on :

../../gcc-4.7.2/gcc/pretty-print.c: In function 'const char* identifier_to_locale(const char*)':
../../gcc-4.7.2/gcc/pretty-print.c:954:28: error: invalid conversion from 'char**' to 'const char**' [-fpermissive]
