Hi Christoph,

many thanks for reporting this. My guess is that stage3 is failing.
It would be interesting to know whereabouts. It might be interesting
to run stage3 cc1gm2 under gdb to find out why the Bad fd number is
occuring..

To do this you can:

cd build-3.3.2/gcc
cp stage3/gm2/cc1gm2 .

then you need to add the following lines to `gcc-3.3.2/gcc/gdbinit.in'

----- cut here ----- cut here ----- cut here -----
b exit
b abort
run -Wq -Igm2/gm2-libs:gm2/gm2-compiler -g -gstabs 
gm2/gm2-compiler/FifoQueue.mod -o -
----- cut here ----- cut here ----- cut here -----

then it should be possible to run gdb from the directory
`build-3.3.2/gcc'

normally I do this using emacs as it splits the screen and matches
source file to gdb prompt. But using gdb alone would still be useful
(just not as easy to use :-)

hope this helps,
