You really need to take questions about compiling to the -general
list.  I've put a Reply-To to that list, and have moved this
discussion there.  Also, it's really not a good idea to send emails
to individuals whose addresses you've pulled from the lists.

To begin with, what gcc version are you using?

Also, I see you're using the IBM "make".  Don't do that.  You need to
use gmake.  This instruction is in the documentation.  I think you
really need to read the docs.

I remember when computers were frustrating because they *did* exactly what 
you told them to.  That actually seems sort of quaint now.
