This is usually a symptom of insufficient space. 

Use df(1) to check how much space you have. I seem to recall that about
  250M of space is needed to bootstrap the full 2.95.2 distribution. 
  'make bootstrap-lean' will reduce this substantially (I do not recall
  by how much), as will using --enable-languages to specify only the
  langauges you will need.

today after doing

make bootstrap-lean


I recieved the following errors.
Assembler messages:
Error: Can't open /tmp/ccxgyxWd.s for reading
make[2] ***[stor-layout.o] Error 1
make[2]Leaving directory '/foo'
make[1]***[bootstrap-lean] Error 2

please  keep in mind I compiled as root
I checked my /tmp dir and did not find ccxgyxWd.s where should I get it?
can I   proceed with install?

Correct.

Correct.

gas and ld are necessary on linux.

If I remember redhat installation correctly, you get gas, ld, and the rest
  of binutils when you chose to install egcs-1.1.2 (aka 2.91.66) .

I believe configure will tell you if you do not have an assembler (like 
  gas) or a linker (like ld) .

I am not sure what you are asking here, but I will guess the answer is in

uname -a

Sorry about that. Compiling gcc-2.95.2 with 2.91.66 works fine. I have
  done it myself, several times.

I meant I will compile 2.95.2 using 2.91.66 but there should not be a 
problem, i hope

I would suggest you use 2.95.2 instead, unless you need to link your code
  with c++ libs built with 2.91.66 .

See http://gcc.gnu.org/install .

I do not know of any caveats with this platform; I have been using gcc
  2.95.2 on redhat 6.1 x86-linux for months.

If you plan to do c++ development with 2.95.2, you will recompile the c++
  libs you develop with.

[juan uribe]

I am going to compile from source 2.91.66 are there any issues I should look 
for ?

I will using it on a compaq presario with the following specs...amd k6-2 
3Dnow 400mhz processor running redhat linux 6.1 kernel version 2.2.12-20.
