I've applied the patch from the cited message, built and installed
egcs, then rebuilt (with clean) and installed libgnummalloc.

With this setup, I've done a complete kernel compilation and rebooted
this kernel.

It is now running with this kernel and happily recompiling libc af-
ter today's sup.

Unless something else pops up, it seems that the last egcs 1.1.1 related
problem that I've met on the mac68k can be solved.
