Lorentz,

Thanks for the information.  I'd like to add this to the GCC 3.2 build
status list at http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.2/buildstat.html, but some of
the information is missing; please see the instructions at
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/finalinstall.html.  In particular, I need the
output of config.guess.

Dave, please see if the information in the host/specific installation
instructions needs to be clarified.

Janis
