Bootstrap error

[Douglas B. Staple]

I rm -rf 'd my objdir and re-ran the configure and make stages of my 
script (i.e. with the wget, tar, mv, and make install lines commented out):
./build_gcc.sh > output_MAY16_2013_1133.txt 2>&1

I uploaded the resulting output here:
http://myweb.dal.ca/~dstaple/output_MAY16_2013_1133.txt

Best,

Doug
