 With this version 'make bootstrap' now succeeds.  Thanks.
 
 However, the section of install.texi concerning my environment reads:
 
          @heading @anchor{powerpc-*-linux-gnu*}powerpc-*-linux-gnu*
 
          You will need
          @uref{ftp://ftp.varesearch.com/pub/support/hjl/binutils,,binutils 2.9.4.0.8}
          or newer for a working GCC@.  It is strongly recommended to recompile binutils
          if you initially built it with gcc-2.7.2.x.
 
 I believe that my existing system complied with these requirements.
