	Any thoughts? I was going to try gnumake next.

Yes, use GNU make.  The gcc makefile does not work well with SGI's make because
it doesn't handle rules ending with @true the way we expect it to.
It isn't clear why you got this exact problem though.  Normally it just
results in a lot of unnecessary recompliation.  However, I see that you
did multiple builds in the source directory.  It is possible that something
became inconsistent.  rm -rf works much better than make clean.  I recommend
that you build in a separate directory, and if something goes wrong you can
always rm -rf it.  E.g.
	mkdir egcs-build
	cd egcs-build
	../egcs-1.0.2/configure ...
This does require GNU make though.
