Saw recently (yesterday?) one person posting what he did.. you should
be able to find the article in the archive.. ahh subject "Please
help. gcc 3.2.2 configure problem or what?"

And well.. he did a rm -rf if the libiberty subdir..

It seemed as it wasn't needed, if you do make -k it will hopefully
chew on.
