The version of gcc in 1.1 wont compile 1.2 - your best bet is
	probably to pull down a 1.2beta snapshot (effectively the same
	as the source you're trying to compile) from
	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/sun3/binary/

	Alternatively, try compiling & installing gcc first
	(more work than its probably worth :)
