Hi Jim, The recent release of binutils-2.11 fixed a big problem compiling gcc --with-gnu-as on Uw7. I now have a good install of gcc-2.95.3 that uses gnu-as and gnu-ld. That didn't fix this error, though. I think you though it might, even though I'm trying to build 4.1. You can ssh in and when you get some time and check it out.
