Our nightly build did a two-stage bootstrap last night on a Sparc/Solaris
system successfully:

~/builds > uname -a
SunOS gigha 5.7 Generic_106541-04 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
~/builds > gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

Stage 1 was build with 4.04pl1 (make sure you have pl1!), and stage 2 was
bootstrapped.  I've just done a stage 3 build too, which went through
without a hitch.

So I'm at a loss now: Marc reported that downgrading his gcc fixed the
problem.  That suggests that it's a gcc bug, but we're using 2.95.2 here
without any difficulties.

There's also the outstanding build problem related to sigset_t, which I also
can't reproduce.

Any insight appreciated.

Cheers,
        Simon
