You're not the only one. Something is wrong in the Makefile script,
because I got the same error on a RedHat box:
cvs [update aborted]: reading libjava/sysdep/i386/locks.h: Too many levels of symbolic links
Basically, something in the Makefile is linking
libjava/sysdep/<arch>/locks.h to itself, causing an infinite link
recursion. It is also affecting compilation:
...
linking ../../../gcc/libjava/sysdep/i386/locks.h to sysdep/locks.h
configure: error: ../../../gcc/libjava/sysdep/i386/locks.h: File not found
make[2]: *** [Makefile] Error 1
I'm not sure who is responsible, but would you like to file a
high-priority PR since you found it first? I'm cc'ing the gcc list, in
case anyone knows what went wrong.

I don't seem to be able to do that. Submitting with high priority
gives me an error.
Can someone else submit it please?

I saw this the other day.
This happens when you rebuild an already-built tree. A configury
change will make things mess up in just this way.
I fixed it by removing the bogus symlink from the source tree,
updating to get the missing file, and then rebuilding from scratch.
There may be something less drastic you can do.
This definitely isn't a high-priority PR thing. The problem only
manifests when rebuilding a tree that was built before this change (I
think) went in:
2002-04-16 DJ Delorie <dj@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Allow building in $srcdir.
* configure: Regenerated.
It shouldn't happen for any clean build.

Something strange just happened on my PPClinux box... I was just
trying a cvs update on the gcc tree (the branch) and I got this:
cvs [update aborted]: reading libjava/sysdep/powerpc/locks.h: Too many levels of symbolic links
nferrier@imac:~/projects/gnu/gcc/gcc-cvs$ Write failed flushing stdout buffer.
write stdout: Broken pipe
Bizzare! It worked fine last night (though the build didn't run,
which is why I was updating today - so I could report the fault).
