Ok...I added the "--disable-libssp" and "make" went further but it stops 
at another error:
.....
Entering directory `/linux_source/gcc-4.1.1/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc'

What is "make" building here?  Do I have a buggy avr-as?  avr-as doesn't 
have the '-Qy' option...should it?  Or is "make" using avr-as 
incorrectly here?

Thanks.
