[Almost too embarassed to share this tale...]

simple.  watch, learn, and weep (or laugh)

$ strip /tmp/gcc-install/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.0.4/crtbegin.o
etc.

Of course, linking in a stripped (now non-)relocatable object file is BAD.

The fix?  Don't strip.  Seems simple now, but I had a monster of a time
figuring it out in the first place.  Things got quite hairy for a while,
when I noticed that I had actually final-installed a nonworking gcc.  Lucky
I still had gcc2.7.2.3 around with which to bootstrap.
