That's a pretty actionable error message... which I have to assume you 
did not act on before posting, based on available information.

Please perform basic debuggery before spamming the list. Even if it 
turns out to be a gcc problem, it takes longer to compose the message 
than to fix things like this, and delivering a compiled list of 
workarounds at the end is far more useful to everyone (including you if 
you ever need to do this again) than a bunch of screen dumps showing 
basic error messages.

P.S. This message and the previous hint pretty strongly that you've got 
some messed up paths and/or package installs that have little or nothing 
to do with gcc, other than perhaps the latter requiring non-braindead 
versions of grep/sed/etc.
