Hello!


1. Output from config.guess:

[root@dhcppc1 buildgcc]# /home/JBn/gcc-3.2/config.guess
i686-pc-linux-gnu

2. Output from gcc -v

[root@dhcppc1 buildgcc]# /usr/local/gcc/bin/gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/gcc/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/specs
Configured with: /home/JBn/gcc-3.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc
--enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --without-cxx --with-libtool
--enable-__cxa_atexit --with-system-zlib 
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2

3. GNU/Linux

3.1 Distribution: Red Hat 8.0
3.2 Kernel: 2.4.18-14
3.2 GNU libc: 2.2.93-5 

4. Other info

My reason for building gcc-3.2 on Red Hat 8.0 (which comes with gcc-3.2)
is that I had problems with g++ when trying to build OpenDX
(www.opendx.org) and the c++ part of the netCDF library
(www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf). 

I started out
with a plain "configure", no options but --prefix. The build stopped
at libstdc++ part (see transcript below). 
I then looked at your successful build 
list and found that people tend to use some options after all. 
The --enable-__cxa_atexit option (what does it mean?) I copied 
from the original Red Hat built gcc-3.2. The build still stopped at the
same point no matter what options I used.  

Taking a look into the "<objdir>/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src" 
directory I found the strange looking filename
"locale.loT"! In the header of "locale.loT" it said that the filename
should be "locale.lo". So, I renamed the file, changed back to my <objdir>,
issued the "make bootstrap" command once more and the build continued.

Transcript from my session.
I got the following error in the libstdc++ build:
