Still trying to get gcj running: It seems (from FAQ and bug reports) that
it requires the newest version of GNU ld (theres actually a bug reported
very similar to mine), so I am trying to compile GNU binutil 2.9.1. It
will not, however!

Here's what I get:

anders@box 4% gmake
gmake[1]: Entering directory
`/home/anders/src/binutils-2.9.1-target/libiberty'
test -z "" || \
  gcc -c -g -O2 -I. -I../../binutils-2.9.1/libiberty/../include

gmake[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/anders/src/binutils-2.9.1-target/libiberty'
gmake: *** [all-libiberty] Error 2

This was after running configure without arguments.

... still hoping that an expert will see this after newyear!
