Hi. After several tries and a modicum of googling, I found that
CFLAGS=-m64 ../gcc-4.4.0/configure --disable-multilib
was the magic incantation to get gcc to get into the second stage of
the boostrap. This is on a Fedora Core 10 system.
This seems to be an old issue; google turns things up dating back to
2003. I suspect that x86_64 systems are only going to be more popular
with time; the build process on those systems needs to be as easy as
for 32 bit systems.
Thanks,
