If it makes you feel any better, more Mhz (and not having any of those
users slowing down your system) helps a lot! :-) All the objects in
gcc's stage3 will build (cd gcc ; rm *.o java/*.o ch/*.o cp/*.o objc/*.o
f/*.o; make bootstrap3) will all languages and all the multilibs in just
under ten minutes on OpenServer on a 400Mhz P-II.

Very strange.  I don't see this on OpenServer 5.0.5.  I did a full
bootstrap just a few days ago.  I also don't see the 'linked' stuff that
you're seeing.    Do you perhaps have an old version of autoconf that
got used to regenerate your configure scripts?   Are you building in a
different srcdir and objdir?

I now see that yours was a new configure, not a straight rebuild.   When
I issue the configure command, all I see is:

$ ../../egcs/configure
Configuring for a i686-pc-sco3.2v5.0.5 host.
Created "Makefile" in /play/tmp/n using "mh-frag"
Links are now set up to build a native compiler for i686-pc-sco3.2v5.0.5

Even if I add '--verbose' to the configure line, I don't see output
that looks like yours.

FWIW, autoconf scripts should find OSR5's install pretty early on:

$ ../../egcs/configure --verbose
Configuring for a i686-pc-sco3.2v5.0.5 host.
Created "Makefile" in /play/tmp/n using "mh-frag"

If you'd like to take this offline,  I'll try to help.
