Very Computer

Due to problems compiling the "linux-pmac-devel" tree, I think I have
to upgrade my gcc. I have downloaded the gcc sources from www.gnu.org
(latest release is 2.95.2) and I try to recompile it in my machine.

I currently have:
gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/ppc-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)

(this is the one which is failing when trying to recompile the devel
tree)

My problem is that when I try to recompile the 2.95.2 gcc, I get the
following error:

ln -s /home/gonvaled/download/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/../libiberty/obstack.c
obstack.c

What is that ? I fear that I maybe should upgrade my binutils. Does
this ring a bell somewhere ?

Thanks in advance,

$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/ppc-redhat-linux/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release/franzo)

This is from LinuxPPC 2000.  You should be able to grab the rpms from
their ftp site, or perhaps rpmfind.net or similar.
