I was building glibc-2.0.106 today. It crapped out with a missing CPP
preprocessor build error. I did a look around and found, that cpp was of
the older egcs-1.1b, not egcs-1.1.1 as I had expected.

End of search list.

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/egcs-2.91.60/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1 release)
Hmm. What did it do with the newer cpp? Ah yes, found it in
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/egcs-2.91.60/ Presumably there's a
problem with the installation process somewhere.
FIX: Copy the newer cpp on top of the older cpp. Fixes things.
Cheers,
Alex

The standard egcs distributions never install cpp into a user binary
directory. It is only installed into the gcc's internal directories.
