problem compiling a new gcc version.

[Wim De Smet <fragmeat@yucom.be>]

Hi,

I'm running woody with a 2.2.20 kernel. Recently I tried to install a newer gcc (3.2). I used these commands:
mkdir /usr/gcc-3.2/
cd /usr/gcc-3.2/
/opt/gcc-3.2/configure --with-local-prefix=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.20/include --prefix=/usr
make (or make bootstrap, tried them both)

configure detects no error, but during make I get this:
In file included from /opt/gcc-3.2/libstdc++-v3/src/locale.cc:406:

could it be that this is specific to my kernel or is it a configuration problem with my current locales?
I hope this is not too specific, I could mail to the gcc people but I haven't had this problem under other
systems so I figured it might be a misconfiguration somewhere?

thx in advance,
Wim
