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.

Thanks,
Matt
