>Description:
I unpacked gcc-3.2.2.tar.gz, created a obj directory, cd'd to that directory, and ran ../gcc-3.2.2/configure.  This resulted in the attached config.status file.

The problem is, if I make a new build object directory, and rerun the full command indicated in the config.status file, I end up with an unusable object directory -- there's no gcc subdirectory, for example.  Running configure with no arguments results in a correct object directory being built.
>How-To-Repeat:
tar xvzf gcc-3.2.2.tar.gz
mkdir build
cd build
../gcc-3.2.2/configure
cd ..
mkdir build2
cd build2
../build/config.status
ls -l

notice that there's no gcc directory in build2, like there was in build.  This causes "make bootstrap" to fail when it tries to cd to gcc.
