hm, i can't see your problem. gcc-2.4.0 compiled out of the box for me.
I compiled 2.4.0 with gcc-2.3.3 and had'nt any problems without the
exception of wrong enquire-output. Ignore this and you will have a well
working compiler. All of my local stuff is working (elm,tin,bison, gawk,
gas, binutils, shellutis, textuils, ghostscript 2.6, etc. pp.).
System: AT 386 without fpu.
Ciao, Klaus
