Thanks to all who responded.  I had to make -k install the new gcc first,
after that I was able to compile libgcc without problems.

Gee, where would I be without all the nice and helpful people on this list..
:-)

Now, if I only knew why make fails on every GNU program I've tried:
 "Makefile", line 87: Could not find dir
 Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

It happens on ncurses, so I tried to build GNU make, but I get the same
message.... ;-)  Maybe something in my system is screwed up.

Anyway, thanks!
