There's nothing like deterministic software.
I started over again in a completely new build directory and the regular
../gcc-4.4.0/configure --prefix=/usr/gcc4
make
is through the 3 stage bootstrap and is now compiling fortran and java.
But I *know* I tried this out of the box before and it didn't work.
I didn't start over again with fresh extraction of the tar balls, but
that shouldn't make any difference, right?
Once this build finishes I will try a fresh extraction and will report
back to the mailing list.
Jerry, thanks for the offer to look at logs - I'll hold off on that until
I can reproduce a problem.
Thanks,
Arnold
