Gcc can't be compiled without changes because of a bug in glibc.
Essentially, the existance of a declaration for sys_errlist[] causes
strerror.c to be miscompiled in libiberty.
There are two right fixes:
1) strerror.c in libiberty should be only called on the absense of
strerror. The logic is currently b0rked.
2) Glibc shouldn't declare symbols that are never defined.
Both of these need to be done. I've been a little short on time. If
you fix (1), send the patch to me and I will forward it on to DJ
Delorie. Otherwise, I'll get to it eventually.
Tks,
Jeff Bailey
