[Bug bootstrap/35577] New: configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files

["al dot danial at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

This is on an AMD Opteron system running the 64 bit version of RHEL 4.3
(curious  that it is identified as "unknown-linux-gnu").  I'm building 4.3.0
with GCC 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2).

My configure command is
  ../gcc-4.3.0/configure --with-gmp=/apps/gmp/4.2.2
--with-mpfr=/apps/mpfr/2.3.0 --prefix=/apps/gcc/4.2.2
--enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,java,objc,obj-c++,treelang

The configure completes successfully.  The error is triggered by
  make bootstrap

The last 20 or so lines of output from make boostrap are:

if [ xinfo = xinfo ]; then \
        makeinfo --split-size=5000000 --split-size=5000000 --split-size=5000000
--no-split -I ../../gcc-4.3.0/gcc/doc \
                -I ../../gcc-4.3.0/gcc/doc/include -o doc/gccinstall.info
../../gcc-4.3.0/gcc/doc/install.texi; \
fi

For what it's worth, the identical problem happens on a 64 bit Solaris 9
system.
