Do I need to run a complete build first? When I run that make target right 
after configure, it fails in multiple ways when building from r181491:

matt@matt-desktop:~/src/gcc-trunk/obj$ ../configure --enable-bootstrap 
--prefix=/home/matt --enable-clocale=gnu --with-system-zlib 
--enable-shared --with-demangler-in-ld --enable-lto 
--with-build-config=bootstrap-lto --with-fpmath=sse 
--enable-languages=c,c++,lto

[...]

Weird.

By the way, thanks for taking the time to help me work through debugging 
this issue so I can file a meaningful bug. I really appreciate it :)
