i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1.

I'm in the process of doing a merge from gcc2 -> egcs, once that's done
I'll be making a fresh snapshot (from the development tree) so other
folks can look into this problem.

Nope -- at least in the past enquire generated warnings/errors on
many systems due to bugs in their C-libraries.  It was decreed that
this should not stop the build process.
