 That should work.  (Although your --prefix has always been the default,
 and the --host should be deduced automatically.)
 
 One suggestion:  try giving an absolute path to configure when you call
 it, e.g.,
 
     cd gcc-3.0-sparc-32bit-obj
     /wherever/you/unpacked/the/source/configure --enable-lan....
 
 and see whether the same error occurs during the build.

 I would therefore like to posit that computing's central challenge, viz. "How
 not to make a mess of it," has /not/ been met.
