Someone posted a URL when I was having problems (I don't have it "at
hand"), but it had very little actual information in it, other than to say
that egcs64 worked...sometimes...
Once I got the right versions of everything, I had no trouble doing the
build.

I don't understand. The version I have (1:19980921-1) may be a bit old,
but has no conflicts.
It is my understanding that the new gcc (2.95.x) is replacing egcs64, so
there may have had to be some conflicts instituted. I haven't had a chance
to try the new gcc on a kernel yet, but that may be the other way to keep
g77.

Give the new gcc a try?
