I attempted to upgrade this to gcc 3.0.2.
Having unravelled the folliwing kits 

gcc-3.0.2.tar.bz2       gcc-objc-3.0.2.tar.bz2
gcc-g++-3.0.2.tar.bz2   gcc-g77-3.0.2.tar.bz2   MPlayer-0.50.tar.bz2    gcc-java-3.0.2.tar.bz2

into /usr/local, I invoked 

cd /usr/local/gcc-3.0.2
./configure

and then 

make bootstrap

The following errors came up and the upgrade
was terminated abnormally.  This bug report
is made as suggested by the error messages.
