bootstrap/10129 (Was: GCC Release Status (2003-06-20))

[Andrew Pinski]

I think a work around on the mainline is to compile with 
-mdynamic-no-pic
which disables PIC code generation on powerpc-apple-darwin6.6, I should 
know
because my name is on the patch (even though it is apple email address, 
it
is same person).
I bootstrap (Not Ada though but I would like to start soon just make 
sure
that it is bootstrap able on darwin) all the time with the 
-mdynamic-no-pic
option on the mainline.

I do not know if this is an acceptable work around or not but it
should help to at least getting bootstrap back working.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski
