In fact (as I said in that message) the bug was originally tickled when I built for the athlon-mp (modifed /etc/rpmrc file) but I deleted that file on a second attempt to remove one variable and the build still bombed out. See that message for the two other differences between the "good" and the "bad" system. Now that I "fixed" the problem (see message on how) I will build again tonight to see if the build goes through. Problem is that I know nothing at all about "update-alternatives" which seems to be the fundamental cause of the problem. For some reason it is creating the error-causing link on one machine and not in the other. Dean, starting yet another build of gcc-3.2.1
