newlib-1.12.0 won't compile host=target=i686-pc-linux-gnu

[James Buchanan]

I'm trying to compile newlib-1.12.0 host = target = i686-pc-linux-gnu so 
hopefully I can use Dave Hanson and Chris Fraser's LCC-4.2 compiler 
instead of GCC.  glibc is hopelessly non-compliant with the C standard, 
and LCC will just not work with it.  (Have you heard of anyone using LCC 
with newlib?)  I made a separate build directory outside of the source 
tree, cd'd into there, and ran:

../newlib-1.12.0/newlib/configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu 
--target=i686-pc-linux-gnu 
--srcdir=/home/jamesb/lcc-newlib/newlib-1.12.0/newlib

and this is what happened, starting from a while (maybe 2-3 mins or so) 
into the compile (the problem seems to be in sigaction.c):

Can you tell me what is going on?  I can't find anything on Google.
