Bootstrap failure of egcs-970917 on mips-sgi-irix5.2

[Alexandre Oliva]

Hi there!

I was unable to bootstrap an out-of-the-box egcs-970917 on
mips-sgi-irix5.2.  The problem I found was that programs produced by
the stage1 compiler, linked against -lmalloc, would core-dump when
running exit().  Particularly, the gen* programs would crash, as well
as the cccp and xgcc.

The x-iris makefile fragment enabls -lmalloc by default, and has done
so for a long time.

The stage1 compiler, compiled with gcc-2.7.2.3, runs fine, even being
linked against -lmalloc too.

Removing -lmalloc from the Makefile and deleting cccp, cpp and
genflags (or was it gen-attr?  it was the first one to be built)
allowed me to proceed.
