I stand corrected.

Really?
H.J. sent some patches [1] to the list recently which appear to be
roughly equivalent to some patches that I sent out a few days
earlier [2]. You may recall that you tested these patches and
found that they allowed you to build on i386-unknown-gnu0.2
again [3].
HJ's patches are a bit more involved than mine were (probably to
enable building on Solaris 7), so it may be the case that a few more
tweaks are necessary to allow you to build on i386-unknown-gnu0.2 and
other i386 targets, but my patch [2] combined with your response [3]
certainly suggest that it is possible.
