FYI, I had trouble bootstrapping it with the bundled `cc' compiler on
alphaev6-dec-osf4.0f (it would crash while using the stage1 compiler
to build stage2), and with GCC 2.8.1 on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 (compare
would fail, after both bootstrap and bootstrap4).  Using gcc 2.95.3
fixed the problem on the alpha machine; I've just fired a build with
gcc 2.95.3 on the hppa machine too.  I'll let you know in case it does
NOT succeed.

On Solaris/x86 and alpha-unknown-linux-gnu (Red Hat Linux 7), I had to
build newer versions of binutils for GCC to bootstrap and work
correctly.  This might have helped on Solaris/sparc 2.[5-7] too, where
the C++ test results are quite disgusting.  I've posted the
testresults of all my tests to the gcc-testresults mailing list.
Sometimes you'll find more than one set of results for the same
architecture: in these cases, I may have varied the bootstrap
compiler and BOOT_CFLAGS (-O2 or -O3).
