Hmm, I´ve set $ARCH to "i386" and the effect

Ok, so now I´ve set it to "", but

Ahemm, it seems that there are the egcs-patches applied to the package, any 
sense that I try plain sources?

bash-2.03# gcc --version
2.95.2

Any other suggestions (that I won´t try until next week, after my vacation,  -> 
SF, CA ;-)) ?

TIA,
