Okay, both of you guys ARE somewhat stupid.
What are you doing trying to compile gcc 3.0 when the bug-fixed version
3.0.1 is out, now for over a week ?

I'm just somewhat peeved that I did spend the time to make the fix (easy)
and to get it in the official gcc distribution (somewhat harder), just so
to see you duplicating that effort...

What's going to happen next ? have you yet figured that gcc 3.0 doesn't
build shared libraries ? And when you have tweaked libtool the requisite
way, what is going to happen ? Are you going to stumble into the make vs.
gmake incompatibility, or are you going to find out that gas doesn't grok
the resulting code.

Oh, and btw, there's a port in the OpenBSD tree.

It's not as if there isn't enough  original stuff  to do without duplicating
already made work.
