I don't understand why this occurs. Can you provide me the full build log?
4.2.3/ is supposed to be a symlink to 4.2/, which is created by some unknown
package (dpkg -S doesn't find anything, and looking at the postinst scripts
of gcc-4.2* doesn't show anything useful).

You first have to clean, then edit the source, and finally build.
Otherwise quilt doesn't like the hand made changes.

Upstream has been dead for a while.
Though I haven't talked to the original author of the code.


Thanks for taking a look at it.
