Bug#253239: gcc-2.95 does not compile
Package: gcc-2.95
Version: 2.95.4.ds15-22
On an almost-clean system (it has gcc-3.3.3-powerpc and binutils-powerpc
installed), a powerpc cross compiler was attempted to be made, following
instructions in debian/README.cross
$ apt-get source gcc-2.95
$ sudo apt-get build-dep gcc-2.95
$ sudo apt-get install libgc-dev
$ sudo apt-get install binutils-multiarch
$ dpkg-source -x gcc-2.95_2.95.4.ds15-22.dsc
$ cd gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds15
debian/rules.defs edited as instructed in debian/README.cross, but
regression tests, etc were not removed/commented out.
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
(lots of make messages, etc)

It appears the build process dies when trying to generate documentation?
