No, I don't think it's recent.
There is a report (linked within PR 13330) which is dated 2003-11-14. A linux
box I have access to started this failure about 2 weeks ago. A full clean +
update + rebuild fixed it for a few days, and now it's been back for at least
another week. Three days ago I installed a clean Linux RH9, and I was never
able to bootstrap GCC there because of this problem. This is when I submitted
the report.
